I couldn’t even begin to type out what I’m feeling.
I cannot wait to embark on this next journey with my family. Beyond blessed, & way beyond deserving, but I’m honored to be the John Wood Head Men’s Basketball Coach.
Stay loyal to the journey & committed to the work! Let’s go!
Guaranteed to be repetitive and have grammar & spelling errors.
Thank you to COH Elite, the players, parents & coaches for this amazing last 3 years! Couldn’t have pictured it any better.
Also, this seems dramatic to post something this long, but it was very special to me. 🥹
The recruiting landscape has changed. A LOT. Players that would have been recruited heavily by D1/D2 programs 5-7 years ago are stuck waiting and hoping.
I WANT YOU! Come create your own path and be the sought after JUCO transfer that now works with the recruiting landscape!
Advice for HS recruits: With the Transfer Portal in the current landscape, the amount of available scholarships for HS players is at an all time low
Coaches aren’t recruiting you with:
Bad Grades
Bad Attitude
Bad Body Language
Bad Energy and Effort
Off The Court Issues
Pro- really happy with how this all turned out and playing 18 holes at 1 AM is one of my new favorite things
Con- I have zero excuse to suck at golf now
A 25-8 year for COH Elite 17U.. going 13-1 in July 👀
Special hoopers, extremely special kids. I can’t wait to watch them this winter/at the next level. Can’t ask for more!
When I started an AAU program one of my goals was to create a family type environment modeled after my great experience with the
@IA_Barnstormers
. Having our younger guys/parents/coaches at our games (and vice versa) makes me so proud!
9/10 of my guys from my 2024 class committed to play hoops at the next level, with the one making the choice to pursue academics. Talk about a special group of dudes that bought in, worked their tails off, and had FUN playing the game. Couldn’t be more proud of all 10 dudes. 🥹
No one -
Me - yeah perfect, so you want to go right past that right eye every time. But make sure you keep the thumb out to get better balance under the ball and I would like to see a little more snap in your wrist too buddy. Really extend that arm
B - *inaudible baby noises*
One of my favorite collective groups that I have ever gotten to coach. Great families, great kids, and great players. Excited for each of their journeys!
It’s been special to share the sideline with my dad through all of these summer weekends. It was extra special this weekend having my brother join us to help out through the week.
They have so much knowledge and insight. Thankful we share the same love & passion for basketball!
The more hoops I watch at the high school level, the more I buy into the belief that spacing is a skill. And valuable one at that!!
Understanding gaps, how to create them, and how to take advantage of them is something I took for granted as a player.

Am I officially an AAU Director now? 😅 LETS GO!

When did attacking a hip not become cool anymore? Just make one move to get your defender to shift and attack a hip.. basketball is simple. Don’t over complicate it!

Losing suck, my timing and plans are irrelevant, put trust in who has actual control.
I wouldn’t post something like this on social media, but the support I was given was unmatched. I know I won’t be able to reach every one of you so I wanted to make sure it was known!
Fair warning that you need to hop on the Always Sunny in Green Bay train while tickets are still on sale. They will be selling at full/surcharged price within the next 12 months 🐐 BIG MOVES

As I role out to my last tourney, THANK YOU to my wife for allowing me to have another summer of doing something I love to do! 8-9 weekends away from April-July is no joke. It’s REALLY no joke with a 2.5 year old & a 9 month old. You’re an absolute stud & best mom ever.

Honestly I have no words. The way that these girls BOUGHT IN to Coach Schwagmeyer-Belger was amazing. So much talent, basketball IQ, coachability (idk if that’s a word), and character in this picture. So proud of y’all!! Thank you for laying the building blocks!!
11-5 spring season for these guys! More than anything I am so proud of the relationships these guys have formed. Couldn’t be more thankful for a group of parents & players that genuinely love being around each other.
Relationship over talent any day, but these dudes can hoop. 💪🏼

back to doing Nick Moore things on the hardwood. Fresh off of leading his team to a State Championship on the football field.
Purest shot in the Tri-State area. Great defender. No gamble w/ this kid for coaches at the next level. Great kid, student, and person!
