- So...an assistant college basketball coach accepted a $20K bribe = 3 months in jail for defrauding the govt. A sailing coach accepts $610K in bribes = 1 day in jail for racketeering conspiracy. SMDH...Nothing new, it’s all in the hue.A former Stanford coach received a 1-day sentence in college admissions scandal. Prosecutors say he took $610,000 in bribes. washingtonpost.com/education/2019…
- I had never met Amir until May of 2023. I had been a head college coach all of 30 days. He approached me on the road recruiting and told me that he was rooting for me. We talked shortly thereafter on the phone and he shared so many jewels about being a 1st head

- When u can go recruiting at ur alma mater and run into your son as he’s getting out of class…PRICELESS❤️
- Heavy heart this am as we have lost one of the best teachers ever. His friendship, wisdom, and love will forever be in my heart. If I could be half the husband, father, teacher, coach that Coach Wootten was, my life will be fulfilled. Love u Coach❤️
- RIP to one of the realist and most passionate coaches I’ve ever been around. Billy Hahn was a hell of a hell of a recruiter…a huge reason I landed at the Univ. Of Maryland. Prayers and comfort to the Hahn family🙏🏾
- Walking this am I couldn’t stop crying. The vision of one my sons laying on the ground being killed in broad daylight on video was overwhelming. I want to make this place better for them & in turn make it better for others. Gotta find the courage & wisdom to find out how.
- My @TerrapinHoops played their hearts out. Down 15 they could’ve buckled and given in. That’s a great group that showed a ton of toughness & pride. Disappointed in the result, but extremely proud of how they represented. #PROUDTERP
- My wish for '22...for trainers and coaches to post the in-season shooting percentages and turnover rate of their "man"/"lil bro" who they filmed in the offseason "grinding" & "putting in that work" during all these spot shooting drills.
