[Joe White @CoachWhiteUSD]

Help your people. Root for your people. Celebrate your people.

[Barson Collins @Coach_Barson]

@Keefmorris Why is that acceptable? Why do we pick and choose what to be outraced about? If we didn't like him we would think this is inappropriate right? Are we accepting because we like him?

[Barson Collins @Coach_Barson]

@tannerfreiburg @dandickau21 @WolvesILL You're so correct. Any and everything is what you make it. We live in a society now where it's easier to complain than it is to fix it. People don't seem to realize you are what you focus on.

[Michael Stroup 🏴‍☠️🌊 @CoachStroup]

Everybody wants discipline… until discipline gets loud.
Everybody wants toughness… until toughness gets uncomfortable.

Hard coaching isn’t abuse.
Hard coaching is correction.
Hard coaching is standards.
Hard coaching is loving a kid enough not to let him stay average.

If a coach is demanding effort, detail, toughness, and accountability bothers you… that probably says more about today’s culture than it does the coach.

[Barson Collins @Coach_Barson]

@LoafofBreadLife @RealDanZak @JonnyRoot_ Respectfully you're probably not looking around enough because it's SOFT! I can talk about this for days and give great examples. Unfortunately i can't say them because again.. Soft!

[Shawn Spencer @CoachShawnUPS]

Super proud of all our guys for competing the way they did all year long. Grateful for our seniors and the culture they have built.

Friendly Reminder:
Only thing that matters at the end of the day is the relationships you build and the lives you change for the better.

6-2 halfway through conference with sole possession of 2nd place in the standings. Great start but still a lot to learn and work on.! Let’s Get Better!

[D3Direct @D3Direct]

Everyone wants to score 20+ points/game

But in reality, few do. Here are the numbers:

~1.22% of #d3hoops MBB (74/6075)
~0.34% of #d3hoops WBB (21/6195)

So, how do you impact the game?

Defend. Communicate. Rebound. Lead.

Find ways to make others better.
