Today we lost one of the absolute greats…a legend. Tates Locke impacted so many lives…including mine. I find myself quoting him regularly; getting a chuckle when I think back on some of our moments together. I first met coach working Snow Valley Basketball School in 2010.
This was a journey unlike any other I’ve had in coaching. The best part though, is that we were really playing our best basketball the past few weeks & finding our stride. I am very proud of the team that we’ve become & cannot thank all of our players, especially our seniors(1/3)
Coach Show has impacted way more than College Basketball…he is a servant leader that is open to help anyone in the game. I’ve never met anyone like him…and that’s because there is no one like him. Congrats Coach

KK is a special, special player, but part of what makes her so special is who she is a person! Charismatic, positive, caring and communicative. Her energy is contagious!

is someone we’ve been watching since we first started the Palace Sports Instagram page. KK is the 7th ranked player in the Class of ‘23 and is absolutely explosive and one of the shiftiest ball-handlers in the game.
It is hard to put into words what

Shaheed keeps getting better! Down three starters and he has stepped up…36 vs a very good Kenwood team yesterday and 29 against Simeon today. 6’4” guard that can make plays for others and score at all three levels. Leading his team to 4-2 record at Nike League.

This is a progression from our 1v1 and 1v2 finishing. BH must be able to read 2nd and 3rd help defenders and make pass.
Then we are playing the advantage.

Our final IBCA Satellite Clinic of the Fall is this Thursday at the Bedford Park Wintrust Sports Complex! It promises to be a great evening with awesome speakers. We will also be honoring Coach Robert Smith, one of our speakers, at the end of the evening!
Just my two cents: why are we surprised by all of these free agent signings & trade demands with superstars teaming up? This current generation of NBA stars grew up in the AAU system & this is exactly what is happening from middle school all the way through college.
