It is with a very heavy heart that I have to report that we will not be playing this evening. The NAIA has chosen to cancel the National Tournament, effective immediately.
I want to say on behalf of myself, my incredible staff and these one of a kind players and people,
Huge congrats to senior captain, Danni Hanson on reaching 1,000 points. Well earned & deserved. Loved celebrating you last night with our team and our Blue Devil family. We aren’t done yet!!!

Final four treating us right. Just got to watch our USA women’s basketball team practice. Special! Grateful to share this experience with Coach Em for her first Final 4. Who y’all got winning the championship?! 👀
#FinalFour
Heartbreak. The right words don’t exist. A Father, a husband, a businessman, a fearless competitor, a mentor, a leader, a spirit entirely his own. A daughter, a sister, a baller, an eagerness to learn from her Father..
Sitting in the silence of the world right now. Loving on my people. Working remotely. Missing my girls. Remembering what’s important. Maybe we all needed some perspective. Find the light in your space.
Those numbers though. Kendall affects the game in SO many different ways and demands so much attention defensively. She finds way to set up her teammates consistently and contribute on her own in a variety of ways as well. A truly special PG. Well deserved, Kendall.
@kfisher_012
WBB | Kendall Fisher has been named Player of the Week for the Conference in Women's Basketball. Kendall averaged 19 pts per game alongside her 8 rebounds per game and 8 assist per game last week. Kendall helped the Blue Devils sweep the week with 2 wins.
Nice lil watch party tonight for the WNBA Finals game 2 with the squad. What better way to bond then to be students of our game?!

@LaChinaRobinson
for the suggestion. GREAT GAME. Series tied. 👀
#WNBAFinals
Got to see/reconnect with some of our players today on campus, zoom team building in an hour, NBA back today & WNBA back this weekend. BIG grateful.
One thing all of this has reminded me is perspective. All the little & big things — how BLESSED we truly are.
#gratefultweet
What a year.. 💭 Daydreaming about more of this to come. Can’t wait to get back to competing with the squad.
Until then.. nurturing our crafts, minds, bodies & spirits. The grind don’t stop!
My HEART! Calls that make your day/week/month. Our 2020 Blue Devil class is shaping up to be pretty special.
S/o my 1 of a kind recruiting coordinator,
@CoachEmilyLTU
& the whole squad for making our future Blue Devils and their families feel the LOVE!

A special, unique energy and bond that united us year long. My heart breaks for my girls, specifically our seniors. What a year of leadership, guidance and incredible opportunities they led us through. We love you, seniors. A year we will always remember.
Fall in love with the process and journey of becoming great. It’s no overnight fix. Investments in self & craft outside of allotted practice time is what makes the good ones great and the great ones champions. Sumn like that Kobe Bean!

squad opens up tn against LTU. From my time with y’all homecoming week and from watching the vibe from afar - KEEP THAT SAME ENERGY. This team has a real spirit. Play together, COMPETE, play free, play fearless and have fun. All my love.
Very few surpass 1,000 points let alone dream of 2,000+ points. Not to mention the 600+ assists, 650+ rebounds and 250+ steals she’s still working on.
Coaching Kendall is like watching a work of art unfold before your very own eyes. Congrats,

Kendall Fisher has accomplished another HUGE milestone in scoring her 2,000th point on the road today at Indiana Tech. PLEASE HELP US GIVE HER HER 💐❕
Congrats, Kendall. We are forever grateful for all the work you’ve done in that Blue Devil jersey. More to come.
@kfisher_012
Heavy heart today. I’m gonna miss you, Freddie. From the practice player days, all the pickup games, the coaching days, seeing your smile when I walked into admissions with a recruit, the last time I saw you at the Y with Dj and T - you’ve always been a vibe.
I am so excited to announce that I will be furthering my academic and athletic career at Lawrence Tech University! I would like to thank my coaches, teammates, family, and friends for supporting me along the way. Here’s to the next four

Advice for Young Coaches:
5) Watch your pronouns. It’s not “your” team, it’s “our” team. They aren’t “my” players, they are “our” players. They are not “your” wins they are “our” wins. As a coach make it about you only after losses.
Reflecting on a great week of camp with our Lil Ballers & Elite Camp. We had so much fun! Thank you to ALL who came & to our student athletes for being present for our community.
It’s always a great day to be a Blue Devil, but this week was extra special. See you next year! 🖤
Lawrence Tech Womens Basketball is still looking for a Graduate Assistant!!!
Finishing up interviews this week and next. Let me know if anyone is interested. 👏🏻
@LTUWBasketball
Culture. Family. We > me. Safe spaces.

Proud of our Blue Devils for continuing to get 1% better every day. Presence, preparation & being consistently intentional have taught us a lot about our approach to practice & competition. More work to do, but sometimes it’s important to step back & acknowledge the hard work.
I am super excited to announce that I have committed to Lawrence Tech University!! Thanks to my family, friends, coaches, and teammates who have been there for me! Thank you to my Portland and CCE families! Thank you to Coach Grace and Coach Alix! Can’t wait! Go Blue Devils💙🖤🤍
journey motivate and inspire people daily. We are going to miss you, Fred. Ugh.. I hate this. Too bright to leave so soon. You're in my heart,
@FreddieBizzle2
. Love to everyone in our SHU family and to his family and friends.
When life hands you adversity, you find the silver lining. How special it is we all made it here. We had ups, we had downs - we handled the adversity like Champions. The thing that I am most proud of is the bond we have created here.
Proud of the squad for starting off preseason the right way this morning. Now time for some R&R with family & loved ones. Then back to the grind 👀 have a safe weekend y’all!
Great team win tonight vs Spring Arbor, 58-56! It was a fought 40 minute battle. Shoutout our very own

, Kendall Fisher, on reaching 1,000 points tonight. What a milestone — 5 games in as a junior!! Can’t wait to celebrate her at home with our LTU family. More to come..
Soaking up some of my last CO moments for the school year. What a special year its been. Looking forward to reconnecting with friends, family, coaches, & my SHU players/fam this summer.
Summer 2k19 dedicated to growth - for self & for those around me. See you soon, Michigan.
Unparalleled work ethic, a student of the game, a teacher of the game — what I’d give to live a day in his mind. Simply one of a kind. Your legacy will live forever,

My heart breaks for you two and the other lives lost today and the family members who live on without these spirits. Kobe changed the game for both men and women. Kobe taught us all to live with that Mamba Mentality and to be fearless in pursuit of our craft(s).
