When you put weak people in leadership positions, your organization will literally rot right out from underneath you.

@CoachHallNTF @Baghurst Championship DNA is real. It is intentionally built and ingrained through your daily activities.

[PGA TOUR @PGATOUR]

What a moment ❤️

Some states actually care about athletics, coaches, and creating an excellent experience for their students. Well done South Carolina 👏🏼

Spartanburg High School is seeking a dynamic and passionate head coach to lead our boys' basketball program. This is an exceptional opportunity to build a championship culture at a premier high school, equipped with outstanding facilities and positioned for sustained success.

@not_jimmydubs @bewarephog @BeerMeBaby1 @gohawkgo3 @tgoff11 And yes it’s predictable. He stole money from KU. But you think he’s bigger than KU. You must not have heard of a guy named Wilt Chamberlain. He also had loyalty issues with KU for a long time. Regardless, as great as he was, he, too is not bigger than Kansas.

[Coach Phillip Small, CAA @PhillipSmall]

@not_jimmydubs @bewarephog @BeerMeBaby1 @gohawkgo3 @tgoff11 No one is bigger than Kansas. Including you and your 13 followers

[Coach Phillip Small, CAA @PhillipSmall]

@not_jimmydubs @bewarephog @BeerMeBaby1 @gohawkgo3 @tgoff11 I doubt they’d let you sit at the table to hear the answer since you think Darryn Peterson was the greatest to ever wear the KU jersey. I’ll ride with guys who bleed crimson and blue over those that don’t any day.

@BeerMeBaby1 @not_jimmydubs @bewarephog @gohawkgo3 @tgoff11 And for every Jerome Tang there’s 10 Ben McCollum’s who will never get a seat at the table because they don’t have D1 experience. I never said Vaughn should be the coach. I listed reasons why he should get an interview

[Coach Phillip Small, CAA @PhillipSmall]

@not_jimmydubs @bewarephog @BeerMeBaby1 @gohawkgo3 @tgoff11 Because he is a former player, all time great, who has been coaching ball since his playing career ended. Thats why he’s high on their board. Again, as I said before, I’m not saying he should get the job, I’m saying we owe him the opportunity to sell himself.

[Coach Phillip Small, CAA @PhillipSmall]

@not_jimmydubs @bewarephog @BeerMeBaby1 @gohawkgo3 @tgoff11 Roy Williams had never been a college head coach before KU. Nor had he been an NBA head coach, or an All-American player. I’m not saying JV should be next, but if you’re Travis Goff, you’re surely taking a long look at him AND you’re leaving no stone unturned across the country.

[RRinehart @RRinehart2012]

Do you know how outrageous it is that the last 3 hires Kansas has made are Larry Brown, Roy Williams and Bill Self.

[Coach Phillip Small, CAA @PhillipSmall]

I said what I said . . .

[Coach Phillip Small, CAA @PhillipSmall]

@OfficialChipC @CoachHallNTF @WorstRefEvr Excellent explanation. 👏🏼

[Coach Phillip Small, CAA @PhillipSmall]

@OfficialChipC @WorstRefEvr This is fantastic!

This was part of Skip Holtz's eulogy to his father Lou Holtz.

Skip said that when people came to visit his father in hospice, the very first thing Lou asked them was, “What can I do for you?”

That's so powerful. Powerful enough for me to want to be a better person.
God knew what he was doing when he made "Sunshine" that was Lou's nickname growing up.

My heart hurts so much for so many reasons.
Selfishly because Lou was the last man to win a National Championship at Notre Dame.

Unselfishly because he meant SO much to SO many people.
Not one seat in the Basiclica was vacant. There were people standing for an entire hour on the side of the pews.

Plus so much more.

I hope, truly, to become even half the man Lou Holtz was. A man whose first question was always, “What can I do for you?” A man whose light never dimmed, even in his final days. A man whose legacy will outlive all of us.

Kansas deciding not to storm the court after beating 23-0 No. 1 Arizona at home is some high level blue blood activity.

I honestly don’t know if there’s another program in the county that wouldn’t storm in that situation.

[Coach Phillip Small, CAA @PhillipSmall]

Success is lonely, but so is regret. Pick one.

Coaching doesn’t fix people. It helps them unleash what’s already there.

A real leader drinks cold coffee so their team can have it hot.
