I've been a college basketball assistant coach for 5 years now. Few things I've learned in this business.
1) 100% loyalty to your head coach is non-negotiable!
2) Put in work beyond what you are asked to do daily.
3) Love your guys and show them love always.
4) No true days off.
So incredibly thankful to Dr. Weaver and the rest of the
@floridacollege
community for trusting in me and my staff to keep this program rolling. Excited for this opportunity! Let's gooo baby!

Yo,
@RP3natural
.... I thought I saw somethin strange yesterday... did
@SportsCenter
really give you some credit finally? Bout time! Analysts need to start doing the same.
The "GSW is better with or without KD" argument is pointless. What you should have taken from last night's game is how awesome it was to see Steph back to his old self. I think it was pretty clear that
@RP3natural
was right. Steph's points just matter more. Oracle was rockin!
Big time shout out to

The job

and the squad has done over the past 4 years to get this program to where it is now is truly amazing! Proud to be a part of the rise of FC Hoops. Ready to take that step forward baby! Let's gooo
As a native Hoosier I am sincerely embarrassed. An entire NCAA Tournament held in the great state of Indiana. Something that has never, and will never happen again... and not one school from Indiana is still in the tournament. Only one freakin made it! It's just sad!
I know it's all about the 100 mark but I'm always goin to give my brother
@Chase_Teichmann
some love. Congratulations Coach on your 50th career win! 50 Ws in 2 years and a month (covid year included). What a journey its been. Proud to be right there to watch you work!

🚨 NAIA Hoops Report Game of the Week 🚨
Final

@FC_Hoops_
defeats
#23
@IowaWesleyanMBB
80-77 (OT)
Matty Buckets. Good at basketball.
Here’s Matt Simpsons game winner in OT!! He finishes with game high 33pts to lead Florida College to the Top 25 win!!
I think everyone said the 2021 class was going to have a tough time getting offers this year but man... 600+ names in the transfer portal??? I feel for this year's high school seniors. A lot of great student-athletes are not going to get an opportunity this year. Tough!
As a coach, It's never easy to leave a program you put so much time and energy into. I want to thank Coach Labarda,
@EouHoops
and all of the guys for the great memories over the past year!
That being said, I'm pumped to get back to the 813 and get after it with
@FC_Hoops_
Gotta give a big time shout out to
@Chase_Teichmann
on his 75th win tonight! Most people don't celebrate that milestone but ever W is hard to get. This dude has bled Red and Black for a long time and built this program into something special. Getting to 75 is big time! Congrats!
Sunday night thoughts as we prepare for week 2 of preseason:
It's my job to make my head coach and our guys look good everyday. My goal is to put them in the best position to reach their goals. Can't wait to get this week starter! Ready to build this foundation baby!
First and foremost, I want to start this off by saying thank you to

Last night in Helena man... Kinda wild. We've had our differences (your weather sucks!) But I'm definitely goin to miss rollin down McDonald Pass or cruisin down Benton. Thanks for the memories Helena!
#MarchOn
It's so dang hard to get Ws in college hoops. Thats why being 12-1 after tonight is so great. I'm proud of our guys. Definitely have to be better in all facets of the game... including coaching... but a win is a win. Great battle and toughness by Brewton btw! Dudes play so hard!
The boys walked into the Lions den and came out with a W! So proud of these guys! That Freed squad is so talented and coached so well. What a huge win for

🚨IT'S MOVE IN DAY BABY!!!🚨

@FC_Hoops_
@FC_Athletics_
The legend of
#25
will be talked about for years. Hard to match skill with work ethic. This dude broke the mold. Nothing was ever given and he never asked for it. Just puts his head down and out works everyone. Been lucky to have had the opportunity to coach you up Matty!
Our last senior this week is
#25
Matt Simpson.
The Captain has scored 2,838 points, grabbed 839 rebounds, and dished out 394 assists. Matt is 38% from 3, 52% from the field, and 81% from the line for his career. Here are some of his highlights.
Not surprised but absolutely well deserved!
@Chase_Teichmann
has been putting together elite game plans all season long. And the guys have been ballin. So great to see the recognition our leader deserves! Let's goooo!
🚨🚨GAME DAY BABY🚨🚨
Bitter sweet day for the Falcons. Senior Night. I am so proud of
@matt25simpson
@djdoakes
and Big Chinedu Okonkwo and the men they are. It's truly been a pleasure watching them grow and hoop together. 1 last time in Conn baby!! Let's send them out with a W
I want to give a shout out to
@coachrgsayers
and the Carroll College Fighting Saints women's basketball squad. It was an honor to put my college degree to use and call their game against University of Calgary Dino's. These ladies play so hard all game. Huge W tonight!
If you disrespect the game by taking days off, squandering opportunities to get better, not taking workouts and open gyms seriously, or not applying workouts you do with your coaches to your pickup games you're disrespecting your future self and your future goals. It all matters.
I want to be a head coach one day. That's my goal. I work hard to make that happen every single day. But my mind is always on getting my guys to reach their goals and to be the best versions of themselves they can be. If we do that, hopefully my goals will be met as well.
Pre season someone told us we lost a step or two. Couldn't possibly contend for another conference title. We have the second best team and the second best player. Guess what.... How bout them Saints baby! Back to back
@FConference
champs!
#MarchOn
Game Day BABYYYYY!
Great off-season for this group of Falcons but man oh man are we ready to kick off this 2021-22 season!
9 years of this and it still feels like Christmas Day! Road to Iowa starts today baby! Let's goooo!!!
How bout them Fighting Saints baby!!!!! On the road. Hostile environment. Down 17 late in the first half. Down 13 with 4 minutes left in the game. Come back to go up 3 with 0.6 seconds left. Go to OT on a controversial buzzer beater. And win 99-90 in OT!!!!!!
#MarchOn
🚨IT'S GAME DAY BABYYYY🚨
We've come an incredibly long way to get here today! It's been a battle for sure but we've made it. So pumped to watch the fellas do their thing on that court. Can't wait to coach um up! It's CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY for your

squad baby!!
Saints got the W last night baby! On to the ship. 2 games in a row the student section came out strong! Love it! Awesome to see so many Carroll athletes from other sports out supporting! Now y'all need to bring it back tonight for
@coachrgsayers
and the Women's team!!!
This 2023-24
@FC_Hoops_
is special man! So pumped for this group. They battle night in and night out till the final buzzer. Literally all you can really ask for as a coach. Give me fighters and we'll find ourselves on the right side of the score board more times than not.
I love coaching basketball! Love being in the gym with the guys. Love practice. Love preping for the next opponent. Love the games. Just love it man! So pumped to get back after it with the fellas!
Coach Hogan is a great coach, a great teacher, and most importantly... An unbelievably great human. Always goes out of his way to say hi to any, and everyone. I'm proud and blessed to have gotten the chance to know him. Congratulations Coach! Good luck with your next chapter!
🚨GAME DAY BABYYYY🚨
The madness continues! So pumped to watch our guys battle for a shot to go to the Final 16 in KC. It's going to be an epic match up between two 30+ win programs. Let's gooo

A month out from the wedding. Been workin hard in the gym. I'm officially down 12 LBs... or 15... or 7. It really depends on the scale honestly. Hopefully I can find one that says I'm down 20+.
This is awesome! Thank you to everyone that has reached out. This has been one of the best years of my life. 34 has a lot to live up to haha! So much love to my
