I don't use this app anymore, for obvious reasons, but this has to be shared. He is going to be national coach of the year one day.

This is what it's all about!

I asked Arkansas State Head Coach Ryan Pannone what his message was to his team after their 80-77 loss to Georgia Southern.

JUST. PRESS. PLAY.

Coach Pannone isn't just a coach, he's a leader of men!

@WorldWideWob I have not used this app as anything but a link to good content for well over a year. But your video following game four forced me to offer this- well done sir. It was nice to listen to a smart person for a change. Bravo.

@KevinOConnorNBA @esidery Just heard rumors. I have no earthly idea what they are doing.

@stevemagness In other words, be more like women. That's literally how I operate. My wife is my inspiration and role model.

@BBallImmersion Make the focus on helping them fall in love with the game and all that comes with it; joy, connecting to teammates, making healthy choices with food, rest, and exercise, playing for "us" not "me," not being afraid to play other sports, respecting parents, and caring about school.

@CoachKarl22 @hoopsforharris @dudes4harris I'm fired up

[david b. thorpe @coachthorpe]

@DaveDuFourNBA Don't make me cry.

[david b. thorpe @coachthorpe]

Say what you want about Boston when they are champs, but know this--no other NBA team would be 15-2 with the schedule they played, minus their starting center for most of those games. They could end up 80-20, the defending champs are 64-30. Total domination by the Celtics.

Quickest way to get college Presidents to vote in a salary cap for NIL required someone flaunting the lack one. About to change w whomever UK hires.

@davidjsmith1232 I just did a MIP rundown with @ZachLowe_NBA And I am embarrassed to admit I left Sexton off the rundown. He was in my tier labeled "average to great or very good." What a great story. I'm an idiot.

[david b. thorpe @coachthorpe]

@NielsenSTL @ZachLowe_NBA @espn_macmahon You are right, I was wrong. I'm sorry. Thanks for correcting me.

.@RyanPannone showed me film for an hour. @nate_oats talked numbers on his laptop while eating a salad. @CoachBauman sat on a couch, discussing data-driven decisions.

I got a masterclass in offense, and how Alabama built the best in program history: https://t.co/uPSYfKFbX3

@C2_Cooper It's bad to give up baseline

[david b. thorpe @coachthorpe]

@dr_ilardi I was just telling a young NBA player about this yesterday. Playing against him is like playing against a shot blocking big.

Rarely tweet anything but I realized this morning that SGA is going to be the MVP.

[david b. thorpe @coachthorpe]

@DaveDuFourNBA The truth is I cheated to draft Mike and Doc(Julius) in the first place. I was 28 and too competitive for my own good. Still, it was nice crushing teams.

[david b. thorpe @coachthorpe]

@DaveDuFourNBA I beat you by 2 years bro. Drafted SG Mike McFarland to play PF for me at Five-Star Pitt camp, NCAA Division. He was my player from home and I knew he could do it, huge hands, long arms, tough as nails. Doc Robinson was my PG. We rolled everyone--Mike signed w UF, Doc to Auburn.

[david b. thorpe @coachthorpe]

@DaveDuFourNBA lots of single-double screens and staggers for Mike, an elite shooter who made the All-Star team the following summer(twice) at the top level of the camp. PF's couldn't chase him, and if Doc's man tried to curl protect early he'd just cook them. Doc ran Auburn's #1 team w Porter
