    Note to my Blair guys heading out to play in the July AAU period. DEFEND your position, TALK & TOUCH, SPRINT don’t trot, cut with PACE, SHARE the ball, make the EASY PLAY, HELP your teammates shine. The best coaches will notice and that is who you want to play for anyway.

    Two years ago South Sudan did not have a National Team and now we are in the final 8 of #AfroBasket! We have a great core of players who are growing and learning together. The future is bright under the leadership of @LuolDeng9 & @ROYALTIVEY

    I am one lucky guy! Great institutional support, talented and bought in players, as well amazing assistant coaches, none any better than these guys right here. Grateful for all of it and just as excited for the next win as I was for the first win 25 years ago! #Mudita

    We are now 8-1 after this latest World Cup qualifying window and at the top of our group. It’s an honor to coach these connected and competitive South Sudanese players! 🇸🇸

    This is what is called a “real offer”. (As opposed to the fake nonsense I see on my Twitter daily). The college staff comes in and evaluates, asks good questions of the coaching staff, goes back and watches film, discusses with the head coach and ultimately offers. Refreshing!

    You are not a basketball fan if you’re not enjoying this Toronto vs Boston playoff game. I don’t want to hear about NBA players not competing at a high-level. Incredible competitors on both of these teams and so well coached!

    RIP to future Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame member Tom Konchalski! Heaven just added the kindest man most of us have ever known. The world needs more of what Tom brought to each life he touched.

    After 21 years at Blair, it’s great to still wake up early on the first day of practice excited to start a new process! Can’t wait for 3:35. #CauseOverSelf

    Listening to a Billy Donovan virtual clinic such great verbiage: “I tell my team in transition they must RUN for others, SPACE for others and get the ball AHEAD of the defense.”

    If you zoomed your family or your team and don’t post it on social media - did it really happen?
