People say the left and the right can’t agree on anything these days. But there is this one thing:

[Larry Greer @LarryGreer4]

Anything that doesn’t start with Emlen Tunnell is wrong. 1st African American to make the Hall of Fame. Sad that NO ONE talks about him. I NEVER saw him play but a movie should be written about his life. After a great career @Giants he went to @packers to build their dynasty.

I will miss John Sterling famously saying “ THE YANKEES WIN, THEEEEE YANKEES WIN”. R.I.P

[WFAN Sports Radio @WFAN660]

We are devastated to hear about the passing of John Sterling, a WFAN and Yankees radio icon whose voice was synonymous with an entire generation of Yankee fandom.

Rest in peace, John ❤️

I still don’t why we are even talking about Thurman Munson. He dominated his position over a period of time, he won Championships, and if he didn’t tragically die in a Plane crash he would have been 1st ballot Hall of Famer.

[OldTimeHardball @OleTimeHardball]

You hold the deciding vote in the Hall of Fame case for Thurman Munson. Does he get in?

[Larry Greer @LarryGreer4]

Can you imagine being 15 years old & you have the pleasure of listening to the albums “Born to Run” & “Darkness on the Edge of Town (with Greetings from Asbury Park & Wild & Innocent in rear view mirror). It has been quite a ride that started on NYE (1980) at Nassau Coliseum.

My morning album with ☕️

Bruce Springsteen: The River (1980)

Please, don't twist my arm.

A perfect Saturday morning listen.

When I coached in college I hoped I assisted young man grow as a player & more important as a person. I just needed time to watch a player grow up. MUCH HARDER today to have that same impact with players transferring after a year. If you have a connection with a coach stay!

[Stu Johnson @CoachStuJohnson]

Shoutout to Coach @BWardDCoord!

A good coach can change your game, but the great ones change your life. They challenge you, believe in you, and push you to become more than you ever thought possible.

Grateful for your continued impact, which goes far beyond the field!

[Larry Greer @LarryGreer4]

Not every day you get to hear my favorite brass player @JonLampleyMusic from my 2nd favorite band @ofarevolution ( @springsteen always #1) after a win. Awesome!!!

Happy Birthday to my daughter Darcy who makes me want to jump for joy, dance to my feet hurt or just smile. Looking forward to the excitement of the next year for you and Zach. Keep smiling! Love Dad

[Larry Greer @LarryGreer4]

Born and raised NYC kid who loves @Yankees but the opening of the baseball season belongs in Cincinnati the same way the Detroit and the Dallas get Thanksgiving.

[Baseball Quotes @BaseballQuotes1]

Nobody does Opening Day better than Cincinnati

[Joey DeBerardino @JoeyDeBerardino]

The NCAA Tournament features 3 Centerville grads, all making their March Madness debuts:

Gabe Cupps (Ohio State) @CuppsGabe
Jonathan Powell (UNC) @jonathanp0well1
Tom House (Furman) @tjhouse03

How special for a local program to have a trio of stars in the national spotlight.

[Larry Greer @LarryGreer4]

Still one of the greatest games I ever was involved in. Would love to see @BCMBB get back there. Maybe it is time to bring back Howard Eisley or Billy Curley to the program.

[Mike Gualtieri @mike_gualtieri]

This is the pride and passion we need back in #ChestnutHill @BCMBB Thank you @PaulBiancardi and the 1994 Staff/Team. #JustWin🏀

[Larry Greer @LarryGreer4]

@schnides23 That shows how young I was when I coached you Chris. I could still play then lol.

[Larry Greer @LarryGreer4]

Makes me feel old when I hear 50 for you.

[Alexi Giannoulias @Giannoulias]

Turned 50 today.
Feels a little weird & I can see how people get sad on this day, but I am extremely blessed. Learning that Gratitude is a very powerful emotion and my heart is full of it today & everyday. Thanks to everyone who sent well wishes! 😊

[Larry Greer @LarryGreer4]

@PaulBiancardi Can you live scout your potential “PLAY IN” opponent. The same you can if you are on building for the round of 32?

[Larry Greer @LarryGreer4]

It would be nice to see the Northeastern Huskies back in the America East. This would give the students a chance to even drive to game versus flying and seeing their Huskies play.

[Mike Brodsky @brodskyme]

@UMBCAthletics @IndianaFootball I remember when Northeastern was on the AE with you guys. Any school that keeps Vermont from dancing is good in my book.

[Larry Greer @LarryGreer4]

Coldest arena I ever played in. In fact for shoot around no one took off their sweats. Had dead spots just like the old Boston Garden.

[Mike Brodsky @brodskyme]

@HelmetAddict Went there for a Canisius v @GoNUmbasketball game in the late 1980s (I worked for the team at NU), what a cavernous building for the Griffs to play a game in...

[Paul Biancardi @PaulBiancardi]

I’m not his agent, but I do know what success in college basketball looks like. When a coach builds up two programs, wins, and cares deeply about mentoring, teaching valuable lessons, and serving as a role model, that’s the person you want to hire. Mike Jones is all of the above. @UNCG_MikeJones

Coach Jones has a long and successful résumé in the game, it could be a big blessing in disguise that UNCG went in a different direction. If the only goal Is the NCAA Tournament or win the regular season title at UNCG he didn’t do it-but he was winning (57–33 in conference games.)

The fact that his two best players left for greener pastures: imagine still having Kenyon Giles now at Wichita State (19 ppg) or Donovan Atwell at Texas Tech (45% from three)

A Final Four assistant at VCU, he then took Radford to their third NCAA tournament as he won the Big South Tournament in 2018.

He won two Big South regular-season titles in 2019 and 2020. He was also a two-time Big South Coach of the Year (2018, 2020) and the SoCon co‑Coach of the Year (Media) in 2023.

He is a thorough and excellent evaluator of talent and knows how to develop players. Don’t forget Javonte Green at Radford (2015–2019); he became the first player in program history to make an NBA roster. Carlik Jones was next.

The profession knows success, Mike Jones will be a head coach again.
