Had a great time tonight with this crew as they ran for their lives at Netherworld. The Lady Wolves were howling at the moon along with the werewolves and ghouls!

Not hard to believe and trust in coaches who truly believe in relationships and live with integrity. Coach Carroll is one of these coaches and has been since I knew him in high school. He has impacted so many lives
Kevin Carroll@Coach_CarrollSep 12
Some relationships in this profession go far beyond basketball. But those relationships are built on trust—trust that comes from vulnerability and walking through challenges together. Mateo is living proof of what can happen when two people choose to believe in each other. 🦬

Coach Meyer in my opinion is one of the most under valued coaches of all time. I had all his videos, went to his clinics and tried to learn all i could from his program. His camps were legendary and weeded out the uncommitted. His legacy lives on though all he touched.

Don Meyer retired as the winningest coach in men’s college basketball history. It wasn't the X's and O's that made him legendary - it was the culture he built. And he built it through one acronym: TEAMS. Most coaches miss this. Here's what it means and why it matters:🧵

Learned about the passing of Laney Girls coach Otis Smart. So sad to hear this news about such a legend in our sport. We had a great relationship and many great games over the years. Big O touched so many lives and will b missed by so many. Prayers for ur family and RIP my friend

What a live event for Boss Lady! Scored 110 pts in 4 games and double digit rebounds also. Tried to tell coaches she was a hidden 💎 in GA. Now the phones r ringing. What I love is she has trusted our process and now reaping the benefits. Cant wait to c her senior year.

Preach brother, my players would rather listen to a trainer instead of a coach that has won 1000 games. Not saying I know it all, but been doing this at a high level for almost 40 years. They just dont like the Truth and the others r in it for the money.
