Everything you’ve accomplished has been ALL you. Consistency and hard work will win in basketball and in Life. I’m Proud of all you’ve have accomplished this year and the previous ones. This one is special. Enjoy the Bus Ride. Not many get to make that trip❤️
More High school kids need this. The ability to read close outs is lost skill and is why you’re shooting contested layups instead of hitting the correct angle. Close outs = Easy buckets when people don’t close out correctly but not if you dribble into them…
3 v 3 Closeouts
Line up 3 defenders on the lane line. The defenders can leave once the 1st pass happens.
Top defender closes out to the corner. Middle defender to the wing and 3rd defender is in a helpside situation.
We cut the wing player to create a gap.
Her support system is as small a she is but her game is Built for it !!! Stay on that side, No side Hopping with this one.
On to the next one

Was Coach/Human of the year. He gave literally all he had to these girls and they retuned the favor. To get down state and be the only team to challenge the state champs twice under those circumstances‼️
Honored to be apart of this day, Even more grateful to be apart of the process. 6 years later
@paigeengels2024
You’re right where I knew you’d be on letter signing day!!!
#WeNotMe
This is this the type of coach the kids need‼️‼️‼️‼️The comments and reactions to this tweet alone, Say exactly that. Some school is going be getting a great coach and according to all of twitter an even better person…
Honored and grateful to be able to help out at the skills camp. No amount of time I can give could ever add up to what coach Yates has done for Basketball in Illinois.

So every adult in AAU Expects Loyalty from 12-17 year old kids but can’t even be loyal/ decent to each other. Pay attention to the way the Adults move, That will tell you everything. Agendas and Egos are what make this bullshit suck. WEIRDOS
Mary Cait is everything a point guard should be. Asking a kid who can score at will to stop passing so much is rare... I Promise you, she will be better each week.
She works so hard on the court it’s contagious ‼️

Jimmer was 3 months old when I started to work with MK. All 3 of us are getting old. I keep him around the right people which is why he plays the right way.
@SlimSleepr
@Ballislife
He is on the court. whats the big deal? so he practices that shot in the corner. People are so weird. if he was out of bounds or some shit maybe and he is a lefty so it’s not the opposite side of the rack

@IWashington
He shot him 3 times in the back and chased him down for the second two shots. The first one was good enough. Any state he going to jail.
To the LSU fan at the SEC Women's Basketball Tournament today who cursed at me and then declared to my brother, Mom and other Carolina fans that you would see us tomorrow and that there was a "new sheriff in town":

The ball can move a lot faster from spot to spot on the floor by passing than by dribbling. That means that if your team is a great passing team, you will be much harder to guard than if your team is a great dribbling team. The best TEAMS are the best passing teams.
If you clap for others your kids will follow. My son is 9 and I can show you countless clips of him clapping when others score. That was instilled in him. I see parents in the stand with frowns on because their kid can’t score. It’s a Team thing… Be Better so they know Better
I mean this with my whole heart, kelsey is one my favorite players to be in the gym with. Easily one of the hardest working kids i’ve ever seen and her maturity and selflessness is unmatched. She trained with 4th graders, in a packed gym on sunday mornings… She earned this.
This is tough. She is about to have a wild season, Get your
@LAGirlsHoops
Gear ready…A bunch of my favorite players are on that team. Congratulations Aubrey,
@RacersWBB
would be lucky to have you🤞
I’ve been apart of a lot of basketball camps/clinics etc. Nothing had more meaning and positive vibes than today.

Defensive MVP for a pass first PG is absolutely wild… On a Shoe Circuit 😩
And she averaged 18 a game 😂.
Full Disclosure:
( I don’t coach her ever etc, I just enjoy watching this kid Hoop)
I’m not sure why people are confused by this😂🤷♂️. Wait until she starts floating people to death. Very few kids improve weekly it’s more a process, She learns and immediately plugs into her game. Her defense is overlooked. Hard work pays off. She is living proof.
She is worth the trip to Morton College.
@MightyMacBball
She is easily the best shooter in the state but I like watching her do the little things. She locks up and does a great job controlling the offense. She gonna pop off… She is a Bucket
I can’t imagine play hard for a coach who thinks it’s all about them. Not only Think it but, Display it. To Forfeit because you don’t like the other coach is the most Egregious act of “ Look at Me” I can think of in youth sports. To do it twice is a problem. “it’s not about YOU!”
When you are the last two standing from a previous season of celebration, these two ladies could have walked away. They chose to return and be leaders and mentors in what would be a season of development. I couldn’t have asked for two better young ladies to lead the way!
She is definitely one of my top 3 favorite players. She is a Menace on the court. I’m just a fan and happy I don’t coach against
@aubtheballer1
😂. She could drop 40 if she wanted to. literally 40. She is definitely must see basketball
I’m super biased, I really don’t care what any thinks so… she is wildly good at basketball and works harder than 99.9% of everyone. There are few like her left who really love it.
If Aub the Baller doesn’t win this, then we need to rethink what we are doing. Every coach who played or was going to play Loyola had to game plan for her. And she went undefeated and won the state title. and was triple teamed. You can’t even argue for another player
Avery!!!!!!!!! It’s great to see a “Basketball”’Player get rewarded for being just that. Scoring is Easy, How well she does the little things and “The Other” things is why Avery is so good.
No better story in HS sports right now in what Coach Yates has gone through and how his team rallied around him!Awesome game last night coming up big in tough moments and having that championship mindset to beat a team they lost to earlier in the year.
#yatesstrong
#LeaveALegacy
Passing is fun. This boy gets genuinely happy when others score.
Probably because his parents say “Have fun” be for the game and “Did you have fun?” after. If it ever changes i’m out
@paigeengels2024
Congratulations, You’re grossly underrated and overlooked but the right people and entire community understand your Value. It’s definitely worth more than a special mention.
Definitely the one game this weekend
@QuinnArundel
wasn’t hitting shots but like it says below she can effect the game without scoring. Do understand how good at defense you have to be to recognized when not scoring. People only care about points.She locks UP‼️
@PGHIllinois
4th Grade We UP!!!!
People call me a variety of things, Good or Bad but nothing beats being called DAD🤞. Especially to this little thing.
(We are nothing alike 😑😂)
If you have less than 10 years or of head coaching experience this should be Mandatory…You can always learn something new with basketball which makes these Clinics important. I don’t see enough young coaches there‼️

is BACK in the Sweet 16 after a 62-41 win over Messiah behind 24 pts/9 reb from Walker & Pellecchia’s 14-pt, 11-reb double-double
RECAP:
The fact Parents with a kid on the team don’t clap when other kids score is bad. When NOT one parent claps, That’s Bull shit and you have a Program problem. Uncross your arms, take that resting bitch face off ( mom & dad) and clap and cheer for others on the team. 🤯

@JoeC2319
@TheRecordNS
They do A LOT of the little things. Best Rebounding guards easily and learning how to play off the ball now just makes them better for when it’s their turn with it. They change games without needing to score. They Lock up. anyone too.
Both teams, Maine South and Loyola, take a bow. Great game from start to finish.
Final: 53-47, Loyola advances.
Paige Engels' 3 down 6, 42-36, was gigantic (with about 4:40 to play).

2026 Quinn Arundel of
@MightyMacBball
Quinn is a standout guard with unlimited range and the ability to pull up from anywhere on the floor. All-Conference & IBCA Special Mention this hs season, we are excited to have her!
@QuinnArundel
I only put about half the 3’s she made this weekend in this video. The first two games Baller TV didn’t show the basket.
She does this regularly with a hand in her face. Plus if you push up she has “Blow By” Speed. She is more than a shooter/Scorer. 🗜️’s‼️
@QuinnArundel
Quinn Arundel (2026) from 10 feet behind the 3-pt line. Rips the net. I've never seen anything like it, to be honest. There are some other great clips in this game where she uses her threat to shoot to drive/attack and score.
Top 3 favorite basketball players.
She just gets it. She Makes shots, she locks up, she out rebounds everyone and will outwork anyone. She delivers when promised….
I’m a big fan of High School basketball. AAU everyone plays for themselves, High school more teams and kids play for wins and the school. Plus it shows Who has been working and who has been kinda working. The work Always Shows!!!!
Back to back outright UAA Champions for the first time in 25 years for

And You still have to drop and pick her up from school. People need to understand When you’re not working, This child is. Whether it be at PRO or in a gym. My money on HER
Congratulations
@Danielleagent0
on being named All conference and having a tremendous freshman season. Good job trying to lead on and off the court. I can honestly say! I’m not a bit surprised! I know the amount you put in.
