ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins – 14-year NBA veteran and 2008 champion – has agreed to become the men's basketball General Manager of HBCU Jackson State, as well as a connection to its broadcast and journalism program, per Perkins: "I'm thankful for this opportunity to impact young lives and pour back into my community."
@HannaliOkla@InsideOKST@PokeTraveling I don’t think anyone is disagreeing with wanting wins, I think that’s what he’s trying to say - focus on football and wins and not on stupid social media shit.
@HannaliOkla@InsideOKST@PokeTraveling You don’t need to have results yet to set an expectation and build a culture around winning. Making sure we’re not on ESPN for being the biggest losers in the country is part of that. I appreciate the coach setting the tone early and often.
@HannaliOkla@InsideOKST@PokeTraveling He didn’t dictate anything, he said the shirt thing has run its course in his opinion and he’d like to not be made fun of. For a team that has lost its way in terms of winning as a primary goal it’s refreshing to have the coach show some desire to focus on success and not clips.
