Tell the story right. these kids rooms were broken into while they were playing a home game. And when they returned to their rooms everything was gone, they found out who took it and forcefully took all of their belongings back!!! 🤦🏾♂️ @6abc get the facts before posting a story.
Seven players on the Lincoln University men's basketball team were arrested on a series of charges including conspiracy to commit robbery.

Coaches make sure you tell your players how much COVID has changed recruitment. don’t wait around for a D1 scholarship. “GO WHERE YOU ARE WANTED” !!!!!!! ✊🏾🏀.

To think a few kids from DC laughed at someone telling them Norfolk State was at the games to recruit them 🤦🏾♂️ because at some point an ADULT told them they were to good for the MEAC!.

I coach my kids hard and hold them accountable 24/7… having 9/15 on honor roll for the 1st quarter is a blessing! 3 others missed it by 1pt or less. Set a high standard and BE THE STANDARD; they’ll follow @CoolidgeBBall

Public School athletes have to work extra hard to get the scholarship offer… “I like him coach, gotta see more”. Private School athlete look the part and can produce less… “I like him, let’s offer, and get him on campus” . What I miss? 🤔.

It’s a theory in DC that a certain group of coaches don’t develop, they just “take the top talent from teams, after they’re already developed”. 😒🤦🏾♂️ well here is proof to put that theory to bed 🤷🏽♂️ I watched my guy turn into a KILLA since 7th grade 💯 #DaCourse

2yrs ago I took the @CoolidgeBBall job and watched kids post HS commitments with 5-6 schools to choose from. Coolidge was never one! 2yrs later almost every kid in DC has us as a Top 3 school of choice. I’m humbled and ready to work 🏀 #FreeBasketball.

Main reason why I’ll never coach at a private school… I’m here to help the youngins from my environment. Nothing against anyone, but I want my youngins to make it out 1000% more than everyone else !.

A lot of programs go back and forth about players, causing division between kids, but if you see how much love the kids in our area show for one another you’d call yourself a fool for participating in any acts of division amongst them! #TheRealDC Proud of all the youngins 💯🏀.

All you need is one coach to love you in this game… no need for 100 offers, get that one that believes in you. To much talent out here, and you only can pick ONE school. Stay focused kids, no offers should motivate you, but remember ALL YOU NEED IS ONE ! 🤞🏾. - Coach Derky.

DC and PG since the late 90’s have the same family connection. DC natives started to get money or graduate college and buy homes across the line. All of the proud PG hoopers, parents are from DC. It goes hand in hand!.

All jokes aside. DC @MayorBowser should look into the change of a coaches stipend to a full salaried position. The amount of work and phone calls made for these kids is a FULL TIME job. & COVID is making that stipend job tougher 🏀 #AppreciationIsKey.

D2 Programs who are actively recruiting 2021 and 2022 kids. dm me now! Have a few kids in the DC area that are looking for an opportunity and will be a steal for some schools on the D2 level! These kids are OPEN to all programs!!!!!.

The thrill of being a recruiting coach is to find that kid no one takes a chance on, and develop the kid into the one everyone talks about!! The beauty within the process is amazing 🏀 #LoveTheGame.

Prayers go out to OG Todd Bozeman and the rest of the Bozeman family… I can’t find the words to explain the sadness this has caused, please continue to pray for everyone affected by this tragedy.
“That’s my baby boy, my only one” 💔. Tonight on @fox5dc we speak with Blake Bozeman’s parents. The 31 y/o father was shot and killed inside a DC nightclub over to weekend. Hear more on how they want their son to be remembered at 10 p.m. #FOX5DC

Due to DC canceling the season many seniors need that extra push for recruitment. Zay is a combo guard who in my opinion is under recruited! If you need a combo guard next year reach out to @maubrown42 @TigersWilson @CoachTeeJohnson.

The run Wilson HS is on right now should be celebrated in the city. 6 D1 athletes to date, 2 Juco kids (that I know of), Ming (Seton Hall Commit), and up and coming Darren Buchanan Jr.! How could you hate that? #DCvsEverybody good work slim @CoachTeeJohnson.

No Politics, just hooping… DCIAA is back !!!.
25’ Quintin Cooper is leading DC, MD and VA in scoring. He has his Coolidge Colts team 14-5 overall on the year. The University at Buffalo commit should be on every POTY & 1st Team radar. #GatoradePOTY #DCIAAPOTY #WashPostPOTY #1stTeamAllMet
