Free agent guard Jordan Goodwin intends to sign a three-year, $19 million deal to return to the Phoenix Suns, with a player option in the third season, sources tell ESPN. Goodwin made the Suns roster out of training camp on a non-guaranteed contract and emerged as a key reserve and culture fit, averaging 8.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and a team-high 106 total steals.

Your character defines winning.
Lamar University has hired FAU assistant Jordan Fee, source told @TheFieldOf68.
This is yet another terrific hire of one of the best assistants in the country. Rising star.
Fee was previously assistant at Nova Southeastern under Jim Crutchfield and then was the head coach at Gannon - where he went 32-3 and went to the D-2 Elite Eight.
We live in a skip the struggle society.
Skip the reps.
Skip the patience.
Skip the uncomfortable.
Too many people want…
Confidence without preparation.
Success without setbacks.
Results without the grind.
But it doesn’t work that way. It never has.
There are no shortcuts.
You still have to do the work.
You still have to put in the time.
You still have to go through adversity, not around it.
The struggle isn’t a detour.
It’s the training ground.
Every hard practice.
Every setback.
Every moment you wanted to quit but didn’t.
That’s where toughness is built.
That’s where belief is earned.
The people who succeed don’t listen to the noise telling them to skip steps.
They stay patient.
They stay consistent.
They trust the process when it’s boring, lonely, and hard.
Progress isn’t flashy.
It’s quiet reps stacking up.
Do the work.
Respect the struggle.
Coach Scheyer’s advice for aspiring coaches:
Be authentic. Find your own way of doing things. Don’t try to be someone else. It’s not about right or wrong, it’s about being you.
Have a true identity. You’ll see what works for others, but trying to be everything to everyone won’t work. Figure out what you really believe in as a coach.
Those two things are what matter most to him.

Coach Scheyer discussing his purpose and motivations in life:
“The biggest thing you can do in life is build strong relationships… family of course comes first, but for me as a coach, it’s about impacting these guys as much as possible… I’m proud these guys (returning players) came back, because how do you build a relationship if you don’t go through some adversity together? That’s what it’s about for me.”
