I asked Dan Hurley the same question I asked Tom Izzo: why does the media have a problem with coaches coaching players hard?

Hurley: "Society has gotten soft in a lot of ways... The real world is tough and cruel... I'm preparing my players for life."

Cushing completed an undefeated season in Class AA by capturing Sunday's championship with a 64-55 victory over Cheshire.

The Penguins went 17-0 against AA opponents this winter.

“It’s pretty impressive to have that consistency.”

Cedric Coward’s journey to the league:

• 0⭐️ recruit
• Started at DIII Willamette
• Transferred to EWU, wins Big Sky title
• Follows coach to Wazzu, then gets injured
• Commits to Duke, but lights it up at the combine and stays in the draft

Now, he’s a lottery pick! 🙌

[Matt Norlander @MattNorlander]

Zero D1 offers. Quit AAU one year. Began w/ a six-win D3 team. Played only six games last season.

On draft night, he'll be picked in the middle of the first round.

Cedric Coward should be impossible. Yet here he is.

Really excited to share his story.https://t.co/r8JIZ9hWFd

David Riley was just casually watching his old boss coach a week into his new job when a Division III player on the opposing team caught his eye

Now, Cedric Coward is going to the NBA. Here's the story @mid_madness https://t.co/ExzCFDWmqu
