Saved this because you gave me my first chance, Thank you for everything. Congrats on everything @jamelio1230

[Coach Joe Amelio @jamelio1230]

Thank you Scarsdale @ScarsdaleBHoops @KDJmedia1 @lohudhoopsmbd @sportwritertodd

[Ross @CoachRichRoss]

Legend @jamelio1230 🔥 Proud of you my guy!

[Kevin Devaney Jr. @KDJmedia1]

Joe Amelio has stepped down after 8 seasons as the Scarsdale boys basketball coach.

@jamelio1230 made the County Center twice, reached the final in 2023, and was a great ambassador in his time in Section 1. He'll continue to help local athletes with his platform @FBRecruitment

Word is Amelio will be taking over the boys program at King School in Stamford, a NEPSAC power. That seems like a great fit for the long time coach and former St. Raymond player and assistant.

Here are some Session 1 3SSB Gold Highlights from Session 1 in Michigan #CanesOnTheRoad

[Matthew Coller @MatthewColler]

Basketball is the sport people think they are good at… and then they run into someone who’s truly good at it and find out they are actually terrible

[Ross @CoachRichRoss]

🤣🤣🤣 I’m dying laughing cause it’s so true

[Coach Jayson @coachjjayson]

Coaching high school hoops in 2026 is a wild ride. I’m honestly surprised on a daily basis.

Players will miss practice because their aunt’s cat is having a Quinceañera, but then look at the bench with pure, unadulterated shock when they aren't starting in the fourth quarter.

[Ross @CoachRichRoss]

First win as a vars coach

Gotta keep building

Coaches, today is day 1 of my first varsity season as a Head Coach,

Any advice for a young coach?

[Sam Allen @CoachSamAllen]

S/O to all the HS coaches out there putting in serious work in your program

To the ones running pre-season workouts, having staff meetings/retreats, building relationships with your players, fundraising money to help your program have extra tools or better gear for your players

Cont’d … for the ones running feeder workouts and tryouts and organizing coaches and putting out fires … and teaching a full day of classes

I see you. Keep impacting. Keep growing.

And maybe most importantly as you strive for excellence as a coach & leader, remember your home, your family, your spouse…be great for them too
