I am very rarely at a loss for words, but the outpouring of support, love, and kindness today and over the course of my 34 years at @saintjosephs has left me in awe. I look forward to celebrating with friends and family at a game (will not be the VCU game!) this season.
First Siena Manager Dinner in the books. I would put this crew against anyone in the country. No one works harder or takes more pride in being a member of our team. Let’s Hoop!!
Thankful for Coach @KevinKuwik and his staff for welcoming me and my family with open arms. Excited for the opportunity to work with such people of integrity and character at such a prestigious institution. #WestPoint#Army#GoArmybeatnavy#Thankful#Grateful
Welcome back to one of the best guards in Bonnies history, Tim Winn ‘00. Tim was a first-team all-Atlantic 10 selection in 2000 when he led the Bonnies to the NCAA tournament for the first time in 22 seasons. A member of the Athletics Hall of Fame, his son Tim Jr., joined him on his visit back to Bona.
Pat Riley says he brought a 2x4 wood board into the Miami Heat locker room to teach his players about overcoming their fears
“I remember I brought a two-by-four into the locker room. I placed it down, all the guys were ready, and I walked across it without falling off. I said, ‘Somebody else come up and walk.’ A couple guys came up and walked across it and laughed, ‘I could do it too.’”
“I said, ‘What if we put that 200 feet in the air, spanning two buildings?’ Now it changes the whole thing. It’s called fear. Down here it’s easy, but up here is where you have to play.”
“My whole theory was that you can play on the floor, but if you want to beat Dwyane, or you want to beat Michael, or you want to beat Kobe, you’ve got to meet them at the rim. You’ve got to get up there at the rim and meet them there. Otherwise they’re going to dunk on you and embarrass you.”
“And there was also a subtle message. When you meet somebody at the rim, what happens? It’s a collision. I had one rule: if you meet him at the rim and you take somebody out, you’ve got to go out with them. You don’t want to hurt anybody, but you’ve got to meet him at the rim or it’s over.”
🤣 That’s the real stuff… still wrapping brain around Nick being “old enough” to get married. ⏳ The best of the best is Upstate. 🥇@CoachFrusc must be crazy proud too. Thanks for sharing, Coach.
Congrats to Nick Fruscio & his wife Victoria. They got married this afternoon. I had the pleasure of coaching Nick for 4 years. He is the best! Wishing you guys great health, happiness & success moving forward!
University of Houston coach Kelvin Sampson on Jamal Shead signing a new three-year $24 million extension with the Toronto Raptors a year early, just two seasons into his NBA career: "I told Toronto before the draft, I told all those guys, 'Look you can sit there and figure out what's wrong with every player.' That's what most cynical people do. Always figure out what's wrong, that's how they see things.
"But if you want to win and have a player that's dependable you can count on. . . Sometimes a player's greatest strength can be dependability. And that's what Jamal is. His attributes talent wise is No. 1 his strength. I mean, he is strong. His thighs and his butt. That's a powerful little dude. But his leadership, his basketball IQ, his fearlessness, his competitiveness. I hear a lot of people say he's not quite big enough.
"My response is always the same. You're always big enough if you're good enough. And Jamal is."
