I continue to get asked why I returned to uniform and accepted an opportunity to coach in a very challenging situation…..?

My friend @JonGordon11 says it best….

It's Bigger Than You. Most of the time whatever you're called to do isn't really about you. It's about those who you will serve. Remember, a message can't get shared unless there is a messenger willing to share it. They need you.

I’m thankful for the opportunity to lean into an organization @Rockies that’s in a hard place and give back what’s been given to me by others.

@novahoopsCom Woodson has some real mojo going. South lakes has the talent. Woodson has the team. Their whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Either way it’s a great day for Northern VA hoops!

Rest in peace, Coach.

Our country and government rely on checks and balances to protect us from ourselves. This is at least a little important. #educateyourself

The Chevron doctrine protects everything from climate policy to workplace safety to OT pay.

Koch-backed groups called on SCOTUS to overturn it.

Clarence Thomas secretly attended Koch donor retreats but didn't recuse from the case this term.

Here's what else you should know.

@csteed @ryancassidycbb This is a great question. I’m always impressed with the false action run in European leagues. I don’t know if it’s intricate sets or players just understanding the game at a deep level? @RyanPannone is my go to for material on this.

Annual FanQuest Pep Rally – Annandale Atoms vs. Justice Wolves! Such a wonderful opportunity for Special Olympics athletes to experience a real game day atmosphere in front of their peers.

I wish he would have let us normal guys know.

George Kittle’s just an unreal leader to have on this team.

To remain this positive and upbeat and encouraging even when it wasn’t going well:

@CoachLosP @novahoopsCom This guy was unconscious. Doing it on both ends of the floor. Impressive game AT The Garden.

This hits hard.

Mental toughness is going from frustrated to focused. Mental toughness is going from angry to aware. Mental toughness is going from complaining to competitive.
And every day you have gotta choice to make because 'it's hard' will rule your life - one way or the other.

@MrsTryonSHS Congratulations and good luck!

@ellyngildea Might want to ask about sleeping arrangements

[Coach Gildea @bgildea5]

I get it, it’s a business. But also, it’s a business! This guy is GREAT (not just good) at his job. His team was outmatched by the Nuggets. The only solace here is knowing the he will have another job in no time.

BREAKING: The Phoenix Suns dismissed coach Monty Williams, sources tell ESPN. Williams was a two-time NBA Coach of the Year in four seasons with Suns — including a trip to 2021 NBA Finals. Suns lost 6-game series to Nuggets in Western Semifinals.

@andersontobin can absolutely coach…but have you ever seen him demonstrate ball handling!? 😲🔥🏀⛹️‍♂️

[Kevin Devaney Jr. @KDJmedia1]

Fairleigh Dickinson went 4-22 last season in men’s basketball. Then they hired Rockland’s own Tobin Anderson from St. Thomas Aquinas.

Now they’re going to the Dance.

Anderson, along with Mt Vernon grad Demetre Roberts (22 pts) are headed to the NCAA Tournament. Unbelievable.
