To the public a coach’s record is judged based on a scoreboard. As a society we want instant results & gratification. I received an email from a young man I coached 15 years ago. He’s a successful police officer, father and husband. He wanted to say thanks. That’s winning.

25 years ago I had to convince the staff at Atlantic HS that I was actually the JV basketball coach at Santaluces HS. Tonight we open at Michigan St. Thank you to all those who have loved and supported me, those who have played for and coached on those teams. Live your dreams!

Throughout a lifetime as a coach, as an athlete and as a fan I’ve heard our National Anthem played thousands of times. It always evokes emotion. Nothing will ever come close to the feeling I experienced watching my son graduate from boot camp. I’m extremely proud and grateful.

30 years ago today I became a father. I wasn’t much more than a kid having a kid. All I ever wanted was to keep him safe & provide all of the opportunities this world has to offer. Yesterday I got to celebrate him. He has chosen to serve and I couldn’t be prouder. HBD Trey.

Great way to finish boot camp this am. Between playing and coaching this will be my 35th straight year being part of a team. Value relationships above all. I will never lose sight of the work required to ensure that I will get a chance to coach a 36th team. Embrace our journey.
