AAU Thought: stop freaking out or worrying about refs. Get mad at the right things.
Refs did NOT do the following:
- turn the ball over
- miss lay ups
- miss free throws
- miss def. rotations
- not pressure the ball
- step out of bounds
I could go on. Chill y’all. Parents too
Great to have
@CoachDelaney
come to practice today. Many don’t know how much support he’s given me over the years and I’m incredibly grateful for his friendship. If you are an Indy area hoops fan, going to Cathedral for a practice or game is a must!
Really excited to join the Trine family! Great program with sustained success at a university that has high standards on the court and in the classroom.
Facts. And then they claim they were slept on and end up with nothing. See portal for proof. D3 can hoop, especially in the Midwest. Plus most D3s can be affordable.
Talking to a d3 coach yesterday. He had a great quote….
“We have guys coaching in slides, sweats, hat on backwards, vaping in the parking lot in between games telling us what a scholarship player looks like”.

PSA: Recruits - unlock your DMs so that coaches anyone can DM you. Twitter switched to the default setting being only verified accounts ... coaches aren't paying $85 to be twitter verified.
Reminded this morning just how hard it is to win a title. The chase of titles is unlike most as every year is new and winning another title is everything but the gut wrenching of being so close is unreal.

Thirty minutes after the Wichita State game, star player Dexter Dennis (

Dexter is a different kind of dude.
Our Prospect Camp registration is now available! Almost every player in our program has participated in our prospect camp! We actually teach you some of what we do and you get to see how that fits for your game.
Being a journalism guy I don’t usually take many shots at the media, but I do have strong feelings on this one: you can’t just use gross numbers on reporting virus test results, you also need to report the percentage numbers to give a fair representation, especially in headlines.
Indiana HS basketball is awesome to start but add how well each HS has handled the live streams of games for free for the most part is incredible. Really wish and hope MHSAA does the same.
Prospects & Parents it’s JULY!
In this thread 🧵 I’ll breakdown some things to focus on overall & positionally!
For some 2023s this moment feels MASSIVE. Feels like if it doesn’t happen now it won’t happen at all. Some enter july with “offers”, others are seeking their first.🗣
Today is the anniversary of D-Day. One of the most moving places I’ve ever been was on the beaches of Normandy. I can’t imagine being on a ship that landed. So thankful for that trip with

This is the only Elite Camp where you’ll be seen by 25-30 college programs and scouts.
Talk about getting value for your money and a GREAT opportunity!!!
Spots are filling up FAST so we encourage you to sign up before it’s too late!!!
It is with a heavy heart that we share that Coach Marc Davidson has gone home to be with the Lord.
He fought the fight, finished the race, and kept the faith! Now he is receiving his crown of righteousness from Jesus!
“Well done, good and faithful servant!”
We love you coach!

@NY2LA
we have to do better!! Coaches should have a hospitality room at any and every Live Hoops event, in order to do their job! It cost (A-Lot) as it is to attend!
@NCAA
this should be a part of events being sanctioned! It’s not too much to ask! Most coaches agree!
Choices - good or bad, right or wrong - make us who we are. Our choices should include ourselves as a high priority not merely a vehicle for others to use. Surround yourself with people who care about you must be a factor.

Every year seems like my recruiting-drive music changes. Green Day last year, Hamilton sound track the year before. This year’s early leader - AC/DC ... easier to kill time with AC/DC then I thought.

Most high school kids are not talented enough to go straight into an average division 3 program and start. That’s how good college baseball is. We have to educate parents and players better so they can get a better idea of where they belong in regards to level of play.
In our efforts to advance our lives, status, and belongings, we cannot let feelings of entitlement or our forgetfulness of our past, stop us from recognizing how good we have it. Stay hungry and don’t settle but more importantly, stay humble and don’t complain!
Right now there’s an NAIA/D2/JC Assistant working relentlessly to be the best they can be. Their dream is to get to the next level and truthfully they’re good enough to be there now. However, opportunities are tough to get and they know that. I’ve been there! Your time is coming!
AAU coaches I am begging you, this spring and summer is jacked up enough as it is. Play man-to-man defense. Watching zone defense on livestream is painful
Recruits: D3 coaches do NOT value you less because they can’t offer you athletic scholarships. It’s just the format of their institutions. Many D3 coaches value you much more than some other levels. And many can offer you just as much scholarship money, only in merit form.
If you take ALL levels!

There’s EASILY 5000+ guys “available” right now looking for a scholarship!
Now add HS + Prep School!
The MATH IS EASY!
Some of these kids “advisors” LIED about all the “options” available! 🗣️💯
The 3 S’s will end you as a basketball player (may apply other places as well. Lol). No matter how talented you are...can’t be Soft, Selfish or Stupid. Get Tougher! Be Coachable! Make Your Teammates Better! Get to Work!
