Father of 2 awesome kiddos that I love w/my whole heart who maturely handle the adversity they were dealt— Head Men’s Basketball Coach Holy Family University

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

More games are lost than won.

Bad turnovers.
Missed assignments.
Poor communication.
Lack of discipline.
Low-energy starts.

Winning often comes down to avoiding the little things that beat you.

Winning becomes possible when nobody is obsessed with personally being the reason for it!

Coach Cal praised HPU for flying students out postgame.

He added: “Administrations win championships. Coaches win games. In this era of NIL, if you’re not totally into it and they’re not committed, you’re not winning. You just can’t. And High Point is.”

Worth the full listen.

@JeffGamber @_CharlesBarkley @SethDavisHoops Coach, you know that that's unique-- I'm talking about the first and second rounds--and speaking about the past… D2 has space between the second and the third round as well.

[john baron @CoachBaron]

@_CharlesBarkley @SethDavisHoops great points on the tasks of coaches and players with tomorrows off day!

Imagine d2/d3 coaches and players with NO days between and have to play back to back nights in the NCAA tourney! #Itstinks

prep occurs the week before for all opponents!

"I've met with him in person... I'm an adult. I've made mistakes. We all have things we'd like to do differently... Now is the time he needs more love from the adults in his life than at any point..." - Nate Oats on his conversations with Aden Holloway since his arrest

🏆 “The teams that have the fewest distractions are the teams that are going to have the best chance to win the championship.”

A.W. Hamilton explains Eastern Kentucky's standard of "winning the wait" — focusing on daily choices, discipline, and consistency.

[john baron @CoachBaron]

Great effort against a 25 ranked team in the country-- lots to build on for year 2! These dudes competed!!!

78-76 with the ball with 1:01-- just ran out of gas!!!! We played to our standard and not the circumstance and I love that for this group! #CultureWinsAlways @HolyFamilyU

[Holy Family Tigers @GoHFUTigers]

“I get along great with every player that works hard”

-Rick Pitino

99% of the time being a “coach’s favorite” rarely has to do with political bias or liking someone more - it comes down to a mutual trust between player and coach.

Trust that the other will show up & bring it.

[Holy Family Tigers @GoHFUTigers]

HFU Opens its Season with a Win.

Noah Simpson: Match-Highs of 5 Goals, 2 Assists & Career-Best 11 Ground Balls

It is the sixth time HFU has accomplished the feat.

[Holy Family Tigers @GoHFUTigers]

.@HolyFamilyU Men’s Basketball has clinched its first @CACC01 Tournament appearance since 2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣9️⃣

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Being coachable is a competitive edge.

Take feedback without flinching.
Apply it without excuse.
Grow without needing praise.

Most players protect their ego.
Winners protect their growth.

Feedback isn’t an attack.
It’s an advantage.

Use it.
