I am blessed with the best support system- starting with my wife and kids, my staff and my administration. They all all allow me to be a part of a team at 46 years old... it doesn’t get any better than that!

2020 has been the roughest year of my life! But we ended it on a high note by winning the

Championship! John Rhodes and the Beach Ball committee pulled off the unthinkable and ran an amazing first class tournament!
@milton_hoops
is grateful!
Excited for my guy LT Overton!!! This morning he made the announcement that he will forego his senior year and graduate a year early. His final 5 schools are Georgia, Oregon, Oklahoma, Texas A&M and Ohio State. This young man is an amazing athlete but an even better person!!
I am a proud coach tonight- we claimed our 5th regular season region title in 6 years tonight!!! This season started with a lot of ups and downs- we were 4-6 to start the season playing the 3rd toughest strength of schedule in Georgia!! Not done yet!

And just like that GBCA Live Period is a wrap!! 320 teams, 300+ college coaches, thousands of fans and numerous high level games over 2 weekends. Until next year…. ✌️
Jerome “The Bus” Bettis came to our game tonight and spent some time talking to our team about competing at a high level and playing together. Really cool to have a Hall of Famer pour into your team!

This is going to be an ELITE Fall league with 16 of the top teams in Georgia with over 45 players with Division 1 offers! Each team plays 2 games every week for 4 weeks!!
As a basketball coach I am often asked what we do for player development in my program. Today’s social climate has my mind focused on what we can do for human development- how we can build young men who understand social justice, unity and racial equality.
#UnitedNotDivided
I am beyond excited… (and a little intimidated) but I received my acceptance letter for admission to a Doctoral program today! My educational journey continues…… Dr. Whitehart has a nice ring to it 👨🏼🎓😎

I had the amazing honor in 2006 to spend time with Rep. John Lewis. He was an amazing human being and civil rights icon. The world lost a true legend today.

Happy 247th Birthday to the United States Marine Corps! Many moons ago I was a hard charging Devil Dog who needed discipline, direction and a purpose. I found all of those and more on Paris Island! My life changing journey started on those yellow foot prints and continues today!
In coaching you are asked what is your WHY. These 2 are my why!!! Everything I do is because of them... they drive me- when I’m tired, when I’m doubting myself and when the next game seems so far away. I am blessed to have these 2 on my team!
