I respectfully ask the NCAA tennis oversight committee to reevaluate the 10 year commitment that was made to Orlando. A decision that was essentially made behind closed doors without giving any campus sites an opportunity to bid on any of those years. I haven't met one athlete, coach, or fan that prefers this tournament be played on off campus sites.

Technically, the player has to request a MTO. The chair calls the trainer to court for evaluation and potential treatment. Chair administers timing and penalties. Then resumes plays.
ITA rulebook section I.K.1 for MTOs (dual matches).
Was there an injury treated?

[John @JTweetsTennis]

Head official came out and said Badenhorst had to take a medical time out. Thus, Gorzny still had to serve out the game after going up 15-0 for the MTO point penalty.

I can't believe this isn't all over higher ed twitter.
The AIM Committee votes May 18-22 on rewriting US accreditation. (Lower barriers for new accreditors, outcomes-based standards, peer-review elimination, intellectual diversity mandates.)

The best coaches I’ve worked with never acted like they had all the answers.

They stayed coachable.

Reflection may be the most underrated leadership skill.

I’m attending the Charitable Estate Planning Institute. Room full of healthcare & major nonprofits who understand this and see the rev opportunity in the Great Wealth Transfer.

@NCAA and @NACDA administrators should reach out to me. You need to know this stuff! I can help you.

The more I look at this, the more I think:

The issue isn’t donor willingness.
It’s how we structure the conversation.
Most donors are ready for “now + later” discussions earlier than we think.

I didn’t always get planned giving right.

Not because we didn’t believe in it—but because we were busy.
In athletics, “later” usually means never.

The shift:
Don’t add more work.
Go deeper in the conversations you’re already having.

That’s a classic photo. Great memory for me with my Dad. #special #UConn

Visit parents in CT. Take my dad to @UConnHuskies hoops game. We are both alumni. His first game. My 1st since 1995!

Most leaders don’t have a failure problem.

They have a diagnosis problem.

[Doug Knuth @DougKnuth]

When you misdiagnose failure, you solve the wrong problem.

And performance doesn’t improve.

[Doug Knuth @DougKnuth]

Coaching changes that.

It helps leaders slow down, question assumptions, and see what’s actually happening.

[Doug Knuth @DougKnuth]

I just published Failure Doesn’t Teach. Coaching Does. https://t.co/rC4RAio18U in response to this @KelloggSchool article. https://t.co/r5ZMutOCuX Check it out and lmk your thoughts..

Turns out… storytelling at the WAC didn’t always look the same 😅

Blaze 🐴
Cooking with student-athletes 👩‍🍳
High jump + javelin 🏃‍♀️
Havoc student section 🔥
Tailgates + bull riding 🤠

Yeah… I had some fun along the way too.

Excited for what’s next 🎤

@UTRGVmbb @chambershoops Congrats to @ChasseConque and @GoUTRGV on hiring @chambershoops to lead @UTRGVmbb. In my career hiring coaches, I've known just a few people who had the fire, passion, and drive to succeed like Brandon. He is a winner and will make UTRGV a winner.
Congrats Brandon and good luck.
