Came in my office and to my surprise I find this young lady sleeping on my couch! I quietly grabbed my keys and purse - took a picture - and left her there to rest. I will miss Dyaisha Fair everyday! ๐ฅฐโค๏ธ๐งก๐
Orange Nation! Thank You! Thank you for loving us through the tough times. Thank you for celebrating with us during the good times. We left it all out there. And we felt your love every step of the way! We Are Syracuse! Together, We Rise! โ๐ฝ๐๐งก
Buffalo! We were so proud to represent each and every one of you on the biggest stage on national television. The results were not what we wanted but please know we gave our BEST EFFORT! Go Bulls! ๐ค๐ฝ๐ฏ
I loved spending some time with our Dyaisha. Way too short but enough time to remind each other that we both will be ok. We will be patient and locked on ready. Seeing her walk to her car under those lights helped me in vision her future. ๐โ๏ธ We Fight On! โ๐ฝ๐ฅฐ๐งก๐๐๐ฝ
And with the 20th pick in the WNBA, Minnesota selects, Cierra Dillard! To God Be The Glory. Ms. Rose, thank you for entrusting me with your child. She is equipped for the road ahead. ๐ค๐ฝ
My praying warriors are needed in full affect. One of our players mom passed away from Covid a few hours ago. There are no words that can help the ache one heart feels during this difficult time. We would love your prayers. ๐๐ฝโ๐ฝ
July is a stressful time for girls AAU. I know each kid wants to make the BEST impression on ALL coaches and their loved ones. Please remember to have fun! Laugh! Give it your BEST effort and ENJOY the journey! Your going to be OK. Parents hug your kids. ๐๐ค๐ฝ
When the MVP of EVERYTHING sends you a message of congratulations, as a team we feel blessed. Thanks future Hall of Famer
@breannastewart
for your kind words! We will keep working hard to make you proud. ๐๐๐ฝ๐๐พ
Jim Boeheim is one of the BEST coaches that has EVER coached this game of basketball. He has given his life to this game for you and I to enjoy CUSE moments. I am honored to have shared the same court with a true icon! Love you Coach and THANK YOU! SU4LIFE๐
Humility. The word that best describe this amazing award of Coach of the Year in the ACC. With Dyaisha making 1st Team and Alyssa All Rookie Team, my cup overflows. Now itโs time to put our heads down and tend to the sheep! Thanks to each of you. We Fight On! ๐๐ฏ
I want to thank the gentleman in Bowling Green, Ohio who witnessed our team bless our food at the Outback Steakhouse and decided to donate 200 dollars to our bill. He left before we even knew he did such a kind deed. To God Be The Glory! ๐๐๐ฝ๐ฏ
Family! Jackie was our team head manager when I was a student athlete at SU. She was the closest to SC. She drove from ATL to see her sister play! That is who we were and that IS who we will be again! Thanks Sis!

Looking out my office window at 6:30 am and Ms. Monica is getting the floors ready for our practice. She knows that in 19 days is the selection for the NCAAโs! It takes a Village to grow a team! We appreciate you Ms. Monica everyday! ๐
As the

is lifted into the rafters, so will the Legette and Jack name and the City of Syracuse where I was raised. Undoubtedly, every teammate that I had the honor of playing with and EACH SU WBB Player. We Fight On! ๐๐๐ฝ๐ฏ
The moment when you find out you will be the first womenโs basketball player to have your jersey retired at Syracuse ๐งก๐
Congratulations
@UBCoachJack

My favorite pizza and wing place is closing. Today is the last night open. Had no idea. I get there and the amazing owner said not only is this the last day, I am the last customer. ๐๐ฅฒ Grateful for all the great days I spent at this establishment. We fight On! โ๐ฝ
What a great team win! Cierra carried us past a great Big Ten team. The humility... she gets to carry the water bottles. I SO love these ladies. Onward! ๐ค๐ฝ๐ฏ
Just hanging out with a few of my friends at the SU MBB game. ๐ค. Thanks Adam for making all great things happen here at SU! We Got NOW! โ๐ฝ๐๐ฏ
If youโve watched this WBB game and STILL feel that women should not be equal SHAME ON YOU! We Matter! Today on the biggest stage women showed up and showed out! Both teams ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝโ๐ฝ
Where else can you work and go have a slice of pizza and run into Lawrence Moten? The Block S! Thatโs Where! Syracuse University is Rising! Join Us and letโs have some fun! ๐
That beautiful lady inside the window is my momma. We drove to Syracuse to chat with her through the screen. Worth every minute. ๐ฅฐโค๏ธHappy Saturday everyone.
I am the luckiest coach in the world! Thank you Cuse Nation for welcoming my family and me back home. We will make this City the Best place to be! We did it before! Letโs do it again! โ๐ฝ๐๐ค๐๐ฝ๐ฏ๐๐ฝ

I am becoming that creepy neighbor! As I walk the neighborhood and see parents shooting with their kids I just stop and start coaching from across the street. Families are running inside as I pass.

Leaving Buffalo and stopped by to get coffee. This gentleman thanked me for my work here and bought my coffee! Today is going to be a great day. ๐ค๐
This Is Us! Our UBWBB decided to go visit one of our biggest supporters. Guy had open heart surgery and he missed His team. So they went to him.

Came in the office to do some work. I look out the window when I heard the ball bounce. Non other than Dyaisha Fair is in the gym! It Takes What It Takes! We Fight On! โ๐ฝ๐
I have been the head coach at four different Universities. Each time they were Re-Builds. My continuous word for this upcoming year is Clarity! Letโs Go! Bring On 2023. With God, All Things Are Possible. โ๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฏ
I got this in my mailbox this morning prior to leaving for our NCAA Run. One never knows who she inspires until moments like this. Thanks Ella. We will work really hard to make you proud. ๐๐๐ฝโค๏ธ
When your 4th year senior comes into your office with gifts of thanks, as a coach, you think you are doing ok! Thank you Brittany Morrison for an amazing 4 years! Your record 20/22/29/24 = 95 WINS! You left your legacy here at UB. Proud to be your coach. โค๏ธ๐ฏ๐ค๐ฝ

โNew York! Concert jungle where dreams are made of! Thereโs nothing you canโt do!โ That song is fitting for this moment. On the eve of the biggest night of Dyaishaโs basketball career, What does she do? She gets in the gym! โ๐ฝ๐ฅฐ๐๐ฝ๐ฏ
Good Morning. I want to take this moment to thank Buffalo for sending our rings to our staff and players all over the country. This means more than you know. Together we created magic at UB. I am forever grateful. From our President down to all who shaped our team, THANK YOU!๐ค๐ฝโค๏ธ
What a great team win over a GREAT UNC team. With Teisha at 80 percent, Asia still out, and Cheyenne out as well, we played through adversity and for something bigger than ourselves.

Getting my oil changed. Laughed a little with the workers. Manager came out and said, I am giving you 15% off because you made my day. It takes a second to smile and and be happy. Itโs contagious. Go get your blessings today!
When your player burst into your office and puts her phone in your face and you read, โcongratulations on being accepted into Nursing School,โ you know itโs going to be a GREAT day! Congrats Tessy! Youโve Earned It! ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝโค๏ธ๐ค๐ฝ๐ฏ CAB...Character-Academics-Basketball!
32 Teams selected for the WNIT. UBWBB was 33! Was asked if we would be a team in waiting if a team has to opt out and we said yes! Yes because we get to practice for a few more days! Does it hurt to not be in the dance? YES! We Fight On! ๐ค๐ฝ
Tough loss to a great team in double overtime. I get to my office and find out my son goes for 35 in a 4 OT win. Emotions are all over the place! Love our team! We will get better. Love my son! Great job Maceo and GW MBB!
I walked into my office this morning And the coaches had this up. I thank them and each player that I coached and all the coaches that have been with me throughout this journey. We Fight On! ๐๐ฏ
She grew up in Mullins South Carolina. Had to clean homes by going in back door. Never could use their dishes. When they left the house she drank out of their cups and washed them and neatly placed them back in the cupboard. I coach for my mom. Toughest lady I ever met! โ๐ฝ๐ฏ
Cuse Nation, thank you all for your support of these amazing student athletes and this incredible staff! We fight hard everyday to represent the BEST school in the Country in the BEST State in the World! Now on to the ACC Tourney w our Cuse Village! โ๐ฝ๐๐ฏ
Missed many of Maceoโs moments. I know Maceo understands why but it doesnโt make it any easier. I sincerely hope he knows how proud I am of him. The man that he is and the student athlete he has evolved into. Senior Night! Shine Bright Maceo Jack! Love Mom always and forever. โค๏ธ
ACC Teams, and the rest of the NCAA qualifiers, CONGRATULATIONS! Sincere honor to be still playing in March. Thank you WNIT for the invite. We will give you our BEST effort! โ๐ฝ๐๐ฏ

When someone walks up to you while shopping and say, โyour doing a great job with those ladies and it has nothing to do with basketball, itโs the life stuffโ it humbles you and inspires you to want to do more. ๐ค We Fight On!
Time alone has me thinking random thoughtsโฆ How come mbb coaches get hired in a day and WBB coaches have to have 90 people call on their behalf and the process takes a month or even longer? Ok, back to work.
Just like that, I am Granny Jack again. ๐ค. Coach Sharkey and Rosie bundle of joy arrived yesterday and all three are doing well. So grateful to be a small part in this miracle. ๐ค๐ฅฐโค๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐ฝ
Walking by my old stomping grounds will never get old. Seeing so many people out playing ball in March really makes me excited for whatโs to come. We Fight On! โ๐ฝ๐
Early morning to watch film. Drove past my elementary school, HW Smith. Cross guard started yelling: Felisha, you are doing a great job!โ Inspiration can come from anywhere! Needed that! We Fight On! โ๐ฝ๐๐ฏ
Happy and Sad day today! The movers came to pick up our furniture. I will miss Championship Circle so much! The kids the parents the โhood. This has been the absolute BEST experience for my family and me. โค๏ธ๐ฏ
As quiet as we stepped on the stage of the Sweet 16 is as quiet as we celebrated our season. We gave out 5 awards in my living room while my husband cooked Jamaican food. After we played Taboo, laughed, and loved. What a season! What a team! โค๏ธ๐ค๐ฝ๐ฏ
Not enough words to describe how I feel about
@DyaishaFair
HerStory is one for the books. Great mom loving father and incredible grandparents. Her 2 sisters and brother are her heartbeat. I am honored to witness her growth everyday. Love you D! ๐๐ฝ๐๐พ๐ฅฐ๐๐ฏ๐๐ฝ
Please keep our player
@azounielias
and her family in your prayers. Zena is from Lebanon and a senseless bombing occurred today. To hear the heartbreak of your kid not knowing if their family is safe is gut wrenching. Praying Warriors, we need you more than ever! ๐๐ฝ๐ฏ
Kids said they were bored on their bikes in the neighborhood and that was my moment to put them through some defensive slides. They are now playing basketball. โน๐พ ๐๐ค๐ฝLOVE THIS GAME.
Year 27 just rolled in for these lovebirds! ๐ค Just amazed at how God brought us together with forever on His mind. The journey continuesโฆ. Love you David and our family.
