A story of yesteryear. A tale of what once felt impossible. And the moment of a New York dream becoming reality for one of this city's own, Rick Pitino and St. John's University.
One final parting shot this week from Madison Square Garden:
@SCNext A few years ago they were saying storrs south , a decade ago Syracuse was advertising New York’s team every taxi in mahattan. This is well deserved for what our fan base has been through and we’ll need every advantage we can get after last night.
OH MY GOOOOOOODNESS KEITH MCKNIGHT!!!
A MONSTER two-handed slam for the Quinnipiac freshman over Marko Ljubicic to take us to halftime.
Quinnipiac 45, Manhattan 31
10 for McKnight, 13 for Grant Randall. 12 for Jaden Winston.
Monroe sat the last 12 minutes with 2 fouls
@tsnmike I’m sure this take won’t be liked … harden did this for years. They don’t start counting until he gathers with 2 hands. Ball still spinning in hand with first few steps seen as dribble 🤷♂️
Here are my 3 top lessons I learned from the legendary Coach Tates Locke, who sadly passed away at the age of 89 yesterday. Coach Locke was an incredibly impactful and influential person in my life for a decade early in my coaching career…
#1: The Rule of 2:
It will take me 2 minutes to teach it.
It will take you 2 weeks to work on it.
It will take you 2 months to get good at it.
#2: Repetition isn’t punishment:
Just because I said it, I don’t assume you heard it. So I’ll say it again. Just because I demonstrated it, I don’t assume you saw it. So I’ll show it again. Just because I taught it, I don’t assume you understand it. So I’ll teach it again.
#3: 4 Non-Negotiable Rules:
Be early. On time is late.
Always tell the truth.
‘Listen’ with your eyes.
Play as hard as you can.
These 3 Coach Locke-isms are every bit as helpful today as they were when I learned them from him almost 20 years ago!
PRECIOUS ACHIUWA
"THE BIG SNEEZE"
REPPING NIGERIA AND THE BRONX
43 MINUTES
12 POINTS, 16 REBOUNDS, 4 STEALS, 2 BLOCKS
GIVE HIM HIS FLOWERS, KNICKS FANS!
I believe the new New Jersey condensed schedule is playing a major role in RFH struggling right now...folks they look tired...now throw in the type of Schedule they have had to play... THE STATE CAN NOT ASK KIDS TO CONTINUE TO DO THIS
