My rule for parents when I coach
Don’t call or text me after losses and tell me what I did wrong unless you call me after every win and tell me how great I am.
Been using that line for over 20 something years in my parent meetings.
I also explain all the steps that have to be taken before a meeting even remotely gets close to an administration level.
@jacksonemery04@daves_joint Sounds like a guy with a marginal son playing thats not getting attention or his kid is not good enough to play in the EYBL
Ric Bucher says the Lakers had already planned to get rid of Lebron since the Luka trade and finds it funny that Lebron tried to make it seem like he was the one that decided he was leaving and calls BS on Rich Paul saying all these teams are interested in Lebron

@Thevictoria76 I see why he didn't want to come in the house!! She talks to fast and too much! Shit a man can't even think in peace! He should have parked at a store until he got his mind right..
Why didn't Isaiah Evans transfer from Duke after last season after averaging only 6.8 ppg while only playing 13.7 mpg? It's a mindset he was taught from his mother Marieke Lémon back in 9th grade. Here's a look into what Evans was taught about adversity & accountability. @WRAL
A Black woman was dining at Sirenitas Restaurant Mexican & Central American Food when two staff members called her "Myyate grande"…which means large N word in Spanish.
The staff reportedly laughed, assuming she wouldn't understand the slur. She handled it with composure instead of reacting in anger—left briefly to breathe and regroup, then returned to calmly demand an apology. One woman feigned ignorance, but the situation escalated when TikTok was mentioned, leaving the younger dark-haired staffer visibly "cooked" and aware of potential viral fallout.
Backstory…
This lady called me "Myyate grande" which means large N*gger in Spanish. My fathers first language is Spanish and taught me do not ever let somebody call me this word.! was looking at a menu and they laughed in my face because they thought I did not know what they were saying. I left the restaurant quietly, took a moment to breathe and went back and quietly asked for an apology. She proceeded to act like she did not know what I was talking about. The dark haired, younger girl knew she was cooked when I mentioned TikTok.
Holy hell.. Coach Irvin is extremely likable.
Coached the team, made adjustments and the players followed him and his staff for the comeback wins.
If only the HC had similar traits.
