When you have a game when you obviously didn’t play well,you make no excuses,look in the mirror and go back to have to have a short memory and go to the next game.”It is what it is”

If you don’t have kids competing in college, you don’t understand the anguish and nerves you feel when you watch them play.Tomorrow my daughter Bailey plays against Kansas State and my son Coleman plays against Ohio university and I will be a nervous parent watching on TV

New AAU dads,leave your score book at home,college coaches will never ask you about it.The leading scorer does not equate to guaranteed offers and if your child is not enjoying the experience,it may be pressure from you

Just some friendly advice for parents with kids entering High School.Your kid does not have to play varsity as a freshmen to be recruited.Not one college coach will ever ask you about it,only people in the barber shop care about that.
