Surprises me that more college administrators don’t search harder for coaches that excel with limited resources. The “sexy” hire usually wins out. Hidden gems everywhere that need a shot!

I’m sorry but this shouldn’t be a applauded… These are moments he will miss and never get back. Surprised his HC didn’t step in and tell him to stay home. Stop normalizing this type of mentality in our industry, when it should be the exact opposite!
Can we all take a second and applaud K-State assistant coach Ulric Maligi.
He and his wife gave birth to their second child on Thursday but Ulric has been traveling across the country since yesterday recruiting with K-State’s staff.
No days off.

Very emotional team meeting to end our season. A lot of anger and sadness in the room. I feel for Dexter Hood, Darius Lasley, Dakota Quinn, Donte Scroggins and all of the seniors at NAIA schools who deserve the opportunity to finish their season in Kansas City.

Waking up the last two nights at least 20 times with the “woulda, coulda, shouldas”. All coaches know the feeling. There’s anger and sadness, but after time of reflection we begin to remember why we do this… It’s the relationships that will last a life time 💙💛💙💛

This group has been through a lot, including having 3 all-conference vets out for most of the games. To find ourselves 9-0 at this point is beyond impressive and they’ve done it by sticking together and having a “Next Man Up” mentality. This is true “culture”, not the fake stuff.
We close out the holiday on a high note as we pick up a win over Iowa Wesleyan 104-92. We are 9-0 on the season now and will be back in action on Wednesday at home against Grand View.
