Basketball has a lying problem. Everybody says they want to win. Until winning means fewer shots, harder defense, a smaller role, passing up good for great, and cheering when you thought you’d play more. Everybody wants the trophy. Few want the truth it takes to earn it.

Your role is different than your value.

Your role is what the team needs from you today.
Your value is what you bring every day.

You can count your minutes or make your minutes count.

@Ihartitz @betr Would you rather have Jordan Mason than Marshawn Lloyd straight up?

Kenneth Marino of FDNY Rescue Ladder 1 loved his children, his wife and baseball - specifically, Ken Griffey Jr.

Jayhawk Nation, let’s take it back. Hit the link to read Nick’s editor’s letter as we look back at the history, legends and moments that made Kansas basketball what it is today: https://t.co/5wRof9t3kO

"When you wear the Kansas uniform, you realize you are just borrowing it for a while. There were 100 years of Kansas Basketball before I got there. There was a long list of great players who were there before me, and there would be many to follow." - Guest editor Nick Collison

[Coach Jeff Barnes @JeffBarnes52]

As an AD, here’s a reminder for parents:

Competition is hard.
Winning is hard.
Losing is hard.
Being coached is hard.
Accountability is hard.

Competitive sports were never meant to be comfortable.

If you don’t want your child to face hard things, don’t sign them up for competitive athletics.

The struggle is the lesson.
The adversity is the teacher.
The hard is the point.

From today's broadcast at Wimbledon, produced by Tory Zawacki Roy, this is the story of a farmer's desire to create a grass tennis court that turned into something so much more. ESPN presents The Court of Dreams:

I, like many have, thought that I would easily transition to playing in the GPAC. Man was I humbled. So many great players and teams in that league and in NAIA hoops. And I LOVED my experience. The highs and the lows. So grateful to have played at @briarcliffhoops.

[Michael Collison @CoachCollison]

My freshman year in the GPAC had 10+ all state players from my class…and those were just the kids from Iowa. Multiple studs from Nebraska and South Dakota as well. That still holds true every year..Go play in one open gym before you think you are above the level.

[Jacob Padilla @JacobPadilla_]

You can find really, really good hoops in the GPAC. I'm not sure a lot of people around here understand that. If you think you or your kid is too good to play at the NAIA level, I'd recommend going to a game and seeing it for yourself.

[Michael Collison @CoachCollison]

Last year I think there were 2 players (from the same school) transfer to D1 schools. A year before that the GPAC player of the year transferred to UNI and became a starter. Multiple guys signing pro contracts…and I truly feel like some of the best X’s and O’s coaches in Midwest
