Put my favorite picture on my desk today. Throughout my coaching journey there have been so many times I would have given anything to call you- but I know you’re always in my heart. Miss you so much Coach❤️

Women's History Month: Allison Spaschak, Rochester.
Allison Spaschak is in her second year as assistant women’s basketball coach at UR. Last year, she was named to the WBCA Thirty Under 30 list, which recognizes rising women’s basketball coaches across the country.
Pretty cool full circle moment today. Out recruiting at the place where it all started for me!
Been a lot of highs & lows since my days on this court but wouldn’t be where I am now without Coach Snyder and my Ram family 💛

I have to remember that not everyone calls Atlantic City “AC.”
I keep referring to this weekend’s event as the “AC Showcase” and people don’t realize what I’m talking about 🤦🏻♀️
Anyway, excited to head “home” to Jersey this week to see some high level basketball!
What a weekend. Incredibly grateful that this is the direction my life has taken me- amazing friends, outstanding mentors & the ability to watch the growth of the game that I love so much. Until next year!

off my bucket list 😅😎
Kobe could have surrounded GiGi w any NBA player. Instead he chose to bring her to watch players & teams that she imagined herself one day playing for. Coaches- think about this next time you use names like Lebron & Kyrie around young female ballers. Use DT & Sue instead.
Geno Auriemma tells the story of the first time Kobe and Gianna came to a UConn game:
"You could just see the look in her eyes, she was so excited...if she could've stayed, I think she would've stayed"
Being a college athlete is hard. It’s so rewarding, but also HARD.
To all the college athletes & coaches who sacrifice so much everyday- I see you, I support you & I love you.
Check on your people. Tell them you love them. Mental health is so real.
8 years feels like a lifetime and the blink of an eye all at the same time.
I wish you could see how far that 16 yr old you told (very bluntly, & with your piercing blue eyed stare!) to “grow up” in that Disney World hotel room has come ❤️
I hope I’m making you proud, Coach.
FINAL!!
@RochesterWBB
outlasts No. 25 WashU on the road to pick up its first conference win, 75-71!!! Five 'Jackets scored in double figures, led by Lindemuth's 21 pts, as UR led by as many as 20 in the first half before holding on late for the victory!!!

It’s not about division- it’s about fit. I played d3 and had the greatest experience of my life (3 NCAA tourneys, 3 regular season conf titles, 1 conf tourney title) Too many kids chose schools based off status & not fit- that’s why so many are in the transfer portal
Man the last 24 hrs have been emotional! Last night first UCONN / Tennessee game without Pat Summitt. Today 11 years since the passing of Kay Yow and 6 years since the passing of my own HS coach, Kathy Snyder. 3 incredible women. Their legacies will live forever!
Biggest misconception about shooters- believing that a 40% shooter will shoot roughly 40% each game.
The reality is that they’ll have a 0-5 game, then a 6-8 game, a 2-4 game, etc.
The best shooters are often the ones with the ability to reset and think “next shot”.
Steph Curry went 0-10 from 3 on November 4th, 2016.
In his very next game on November 7th, he set the NBA record for most 3-pointers in a game by hitting 13 of them.
Life is 1% what happens to you and 99% how you react to it.
Throughout individuals today, our guards got up over 1,800 shots.
That means I threw over 1,800 passes today… please keep my arm muscles in your thoughts & prayers 😂🫠
For the first time in 6 years, my road trip wawa coffee is a “can’t wait to have another in 5 hours,” rather than 5 months!

This one was bittersweet. Always hard to see a season come to a close, but beyond proud of our resilience, toughness & togetherness tonight.
The future is so bright for the ‘jackets!
FINAL!!
@RochesterWBB
wraps up its season with a win, upsetting No. 22 Emory in Atlanta, 80-78!! Four 'Jackets scored in double figures, led by Gress' game-high 23, while Lindemuth tallied 18, Poulakidas notched a career-high 16 and McCulley recorded a double-double with 11 pts
With today’s win, we have clinched a share of the ODAC Regular Season Title! Washington & Lee also finished 16-2 in ODAC play.
Due to tiebreakers, we will be the
#2
seed in the ODAC tournament next weekend. Looking forward to seeing all of our YJ fans in Salem!

It’s about that time! 👀
Our staff is looking forward to hitting the road to find future ‘jackets!
PSAs- send us your schedules! We can’t wait to watch you play 🐝👇

To all the high level men’s players who hope to continue the Mamba legacy- please do not forget all he did for women’s basketball. We need you to bring the game to where it deserves to be.
The loss of Kobe hurts the world of sports on so many levels- but I can’t help but feel it was women’s sports where he was going to leave his longest-lasting impact. He was so passionate about his daughters and his belief that “if you can play, you can play.”
Proud is an understatement. This has been so well earned & well deserved.
@KSharkey25
is committed, humble, tough & determined - everything a coach should be. The best of the best! 🤝
(4/4) My hope as a college coach / recruiter is that all those who want to play at the college level find the perfect home for themselves. And when they do, they should be celebrated! Achieving your life long dreams is extremely exciting. No matter what that dream looks like!
My favorite player since the ‘04 dunk contest, the reason why I love the W so much, the GOAT.
Happy Retirement, CP3. Thanks for all you did to grow our game- you sure did leave it better than you found it. You are and forever will be a legend 🫶🏻
