2022… “My coach is a nice guy and he’s done nothing wrong, I just don’t think he’s a very good coach coach so I refuse to play.” Really valuable life lessons being taught there. 🤡
Highland's varsity boys basketball players are refusing to return to play until head coach Ty Pearson resigns. Tomorrow's game against Madison is canceled. Unless the team's assistant coaches take over, Highland's season will end prematurely.
There is a shot clock down here in California. It’s a big deal!! Running off minute long possessions (we are guilty of this too end of quarter/end of game) isn’t good for the game. Such an exciting brand of basketball with it!

BIG congrats to
@Liamcampb3ll
for eclipsing 1,000 points with 28 points in our first round district win. There isn’t a harder worker and the best part is he lets us coach him HARD.
@OwyheeMensBB
The best play in basketball right now… catching and immediately swinging the ball to the other side of the floor. Find me 3 guys that can do that… it’s a skill!

will definitely miss this guy and everything he did to advance the game as well as how he looked out for the players and coaches in the west. The Saturday night hoop talks after the games were special. He was a great man!
15U PURPLE
20-1 record on the spring
Capped off with a 16U Championship
A great group of young men that are only going to get improve on and off the court.
Congrats to Lake City on their state championship! I am still in awe of how great Blake Buchanon was and I am even more thrilled the Owyhee Storm will not have to play him next season.
Great weekend hosting the 3rd annual Pro Image Sports Holiday Classic. Congrats to Salesian (CA) and Baker (OR) on their championships! In year 3 of our tournament, I don’t think there has ever been as much talent in one spot in Idaho history. This is only the beginning.

The shot clock will benefit the more superior team... but it will also make the game far more interesting in terms of strategy. Playing zone... soft pressing... having to execute faster offensively will all come into play. Can’t run a set, dribble it back out and run another.
Lost by 7 to a dang good team! 29-5 in the spring and summer. The wins and losses didn’t define us. The toughness and class we had did. Such a fun group and
@SelectHoopsUSA
is the best club in America. HANDS DOWN❗️❗️❗️
Not the trophy we wanted but super proud of our group to bounce back with two wins and another trophy for the trophy case. Can’t wait for a full time shot clock. 😍

Big changes coming to Montana high school sports—MHSA passes votes allowing the implementation of the shot clock into boys’ and girls’ basketball, as well as sanctioning baseball as an MHSA sport.
Our 15U wraps up our 1st annual

with a 2 point loss in the semifinals to a great program in Nebraska Supreme. The best is yet to come.

Awesome weekend coaching Select Purple! Lost a great back and forth game to a very good Zone 6 team. Purple finished 3-1. Really enjoyed coaching one of our 14u groups as well who battled back from a 20 point second half deficit for a big time comeback win!
@SelectHoopsUSA
Had a blast coaching these 3 this past weekend! They’ve come a long way since 15U. They are going to have great senior years a Lapwai, Bountiful, and Green Canyon.

Coaching a team to a state title? Awesome. Coaching a team to a state with the help of your father? Has to be priceless.
4A state champion
@coach_H92
talks about coaching w/ his father last June.
Listen to the rest of the pod with Coach Harrington:
Proud of our effort today vs Preston. Nothing but respect for the defending 3x state champions. They responded when we went up 11 like champions. We want to be the program they are! Onto tomorrow.
#rollvikes
Playing zone is apart of basketball, no matter the age. So is the 3 point shot. So is positionless basketball. You don’t have to start a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. It’s 2019. LOL
