Rooting hard for this D3 TBT team. However, one of my first thoughts … “where are all the NESCAC/UAA/Centennial guys?!”
A friend responded: “probably somewhere making money”
Fair… fair
Happy 1st day of practice to all my fellow (Non-Nescac) d3 hoops guys!
Another great year of developing an elite group of young men.
Be what you’re about every day!
Making my debut as a D3 head men’s volleyball coach tonight. Ready to (hopefully) blow rock-bottom expectations out of the water!! Truly a coaches dream scenario if you ask me

Was just at a high school game where a mom was wearing a shirt that read “my son is a walking bucket”. Was a first for me.
They proceeded to lose by 20 and he had 2 points. And now I’m wondering… maybe the shirt was satirical?

Having a newer, reliable vehicle is an underrated luxury. I’ve had mine for about a year now and it has saved so much anxiety. When I get in for a long recruiting trip, I feel good about it.
Great investment. Worth every penny

When I was a college sophomore (2013 ish) looking for part time jobs I couldn’t even get a call back from minimum wage gigs. Now everyone and their mother are begging for workers. Chic fil A is offering $16 an hour…

I hate this “started from the bottom” spoelstra narrative. Dude’s dad was an NBA executive for 20+ years.
Both things are true:
1) he is a great coach
2) he did not come from nothing/nowhere. Nepotism heavily involved here

The fact that Embiid did not get thrown out for that is crazy. He just tried to grab a players legs who was in the air - super dangerous and dirty play IMO. Fake tough - crybaby behavior.
