These girls were nice enough to give me this experience for the 2nd time in 3 years. I’ll never take it for granted and I’ll always admit it’s because of them. There are so many coaches that are A LOT better than me without one. I am lucky to have these young ladies in my life 🔰

Last week, we kicked off our summer with one of THE BEST camp weeks we’ve had since I’ve been at South! Youth Camp was a ton of fun. Our 6th, 7th and 8th grade group has a ton of talent! And the High School girls were locked in and ready to start the new journey. #RaidersFamily🔰

Today marks the 23rd year I've ended a school year in the same building as @OWNovacekOWLS. Let's just say we have history. Jay has created a scholarship as a way to continue to serve the OW community he has built. Please consider contributing!

@coachbrettflory Completely agree on the rings and sustained success. However, if I’m picking teams at the park and I have the first pick I’m taking this version of Wemby over prime Timmy. I have Duncan as the best power fwd of all time but Wemby is a create-a-player cheat code.

Full circle moment. Three of my former players are now coaching for our @MokanGirls club. Love that they’re giving back to the game and they’re all doing awesome. #proudcoach

@unitedbballplus Adding a rule to have players pass through single gaps and attack double gaps will be very beneficial. We run dominos every day as a 4-4-4 live half-court drill so in game I can just say we’re in dominos. The key is manipulate the space with a cut first to create a double gap.

I am SO proud of you 🥹🫶

At the HS level, if you have 3 levels, a good freshman coach is crucial to the program.
