Purpose. Development. Results.

[Eamonn Mahar @HoopGroupEamonn]

Bittersweet end to another AAU season.

Talking with parents, players, and coaches, you realize how much this builds real relationships between families and friends. After all the travel, time, energy, and effort… it’s always the same: “I’ll miss this” or “I don’t know what I’m gonna do now.”

AAU is special.

@TheHoopGroup will keep putting out a basketball product that connects players to coaches and coaches to players at every level. A legitimate basketball company run by basketball people, with the goal of helping kids.

[Jared Jones @Jones23Jared]

High-IQ lefty guard who controls the game with pace, poise, and feel. A true floor general who can score at all three levels, create for others, and make winning plays. Strong with the ball, doesn’t get knocked off his spot, and can play on or off the ball. Elite student

Highlights from two games at @TheHoopGroup Summer Jam Fest. I was a Saturday Standout. Schedule for Pitt Summer Jam Fest attached below.

If you believe in what you’re marching for, at least have the courage to show your face. Hiding behind a mask says everything.

[CBS News @CBSNews]

Masked marchers representing the white nationalist and fascist group Patriot Front arrived in Washington, D.C. on Saturday amid celebrations for America's 250th anniversary. Part of the group was seen boarding the Eastern Market Metro stop heading toward the National Mall.

Now what?

[Rob Perez @WorldWideWob]

It’s ok. Analytically, the Cavs are doing great.

Really good read ! Love Shai has a player and leader but NBA needs to fix this.

[Brian Reichert @_BrianReichert]

Parents have no idea how many of them are costing their kids offers.

Truly sad some of the behavior of these adults.

College Coaches value good families almost as much as good play.

[Jared Jones @Jones23Jared]

Whether it’s in their relationships, their families, or their work, inconsistency in those areas shows up in how they lead. You can’t expect kids to value commitment and clear communication if the person teaching them doesn’t consistently model it themselves.

[Jared Jones @Jones23Jared]

If a coach isn’t holding players accountable to commitment and communication, it usually reflects something deeper. Those standards don’t just disappear on the court—they’re often missing in their own lives too.

[Jared Jones @Jones23Jared]

Year 1 of our program - 2025 & 2026 groups.

Building something from scratch came with challenges - commitment, buy-in, understanding. A lot of learning on our end.

But we stayed committed to doing it the right way - honesty, purpose, and truly guiding kids.
