@patricklarson10 You can’t argue with the fact that @CUBuffsTurf is the best in the business

Before I started watching The Last Dance, Michael Jordan was by far my favorite athlete of all-time and my boyhood hero, I didn’t think it was possible but his stature in my eyes after watching has multiplied by 100, wow, love everything about him

@MarkNel1026 Can��t beat beef...and you really can’t beat it when paired with Michelob Golden Light

Grace Nelson is out of surgery and awake, was a successful surgery, long recovery road ahead for her but it’s all good, thank you for all the notes and prayers

[Nic Nelson @WasCoachNelson]

If you have room for one extra prayer, please say a little one for Grace Nelson, we head out today for Iowa City where she’ll be having surgery on her right hip on Tuesday, it’s a scary time to get this done now but we trust UI Children’s Hospital completely and she needs it!

@Fostera52 @coach_lovely @J_Wright20 Random reply: keep your feet wide, play with bent limbs (legs and arms), sit in your stance, BALANCE, never leave your feet before your opponent, when he leaves his feet you can leave yours but not until then (unless running a shooter off the three point line)

Officiating Basketball 101: make your call, if a coach is upset and you get an opportunity to explain it to the coach do so, but don't feel compelled to have a conversation with the coach while the game is going on

Officiating Basketball 101: even though the single finger "T" seems to be a trendy option these days, there is still a lot to be said for the traditional whole hand "T" #classic #tradition #singlefingerTisweak

Officiating Basketball 101: if @DVMensBball praises your Tweets, don't let it go to your head

[Nic Nelson @WasCoachNelson]

Officiating Basketball 101: if your most common call during a game is "jump ball", it's been an ugly game

[Nic Nelson @WasCoachNelson]

Officiating Basketball 101: don't be a traffic cop, stop the clock and point the direction with the same arm

Officiating Basketball 101: you need a lot of supplies in your duffel bag (or roller bag for the big-timers): a needle to deflate game balls, breath mints, alcohol swabs for your whistle, shower kit, pen, shoe bag, something to get out knots in your shoes, rule book, etc., etc.

Officiating Basketball 101: be smooth but in command with your mechanics

[Nic Nelson @WasCoachNelson]

Officiating basketball 101: the whistle needs to be a short, powerful blast, not an elongated drag, in the words of Nuke Laloosh, you need to use your whistle to "announce your presence with authority"
