PRO BOWLER! I remember football nerds talking about “his tape” when he put on a show at the combine...”but his tape this blah blah.. He won’t be a 1st round pick”....Tape can tell a lot but it can’t tell a guys character, willingness to learn or coachability. Carry on my guy!!
Prospects: if you’re a 5’7-5’10 pg you don’t need to show me that you can drive into bigger bodies for low percentage shots and dribble 100 times to create space. You need to show that you can run a team, defend and hit open shots.
I’m excited to share that I have accepted the position of Head Boys Basketball Coach at Berlin High School, where I will also joining the BHS faculty! I can’t wait to get started!! I have enjoyed my time at Post University w/
@Post_Eagles_MBB
I am proud of all we accomplished. 🙏
Squad added some depth this morning...thrilled to announce the arrival of Greyson Digger Phelps. 8lbs 13oz and 21 inches of miracle. Mom was the unanimous MVP and she and baby are both doing great!
Happy birthday to my fully vaccinated grandfather! Stormed the beaches of Normandy, took a few slugs in the process, awarded a Purple Heart and turned 97 years old today! He celebrated with a beer at noon....god bless
After meeting with our players at SPC tonight it gives me great joy (although with a heavy heart) to announce I’ve accepted an assistant coaching position with the Men’s Basketball program at Division 2, Post University.Been a long journey and I look forward to this next chapter.
Tremont Waters is a 5’11 second round NBA draft pick. Tacko Fall is a 7’6 undrafted FA. Don’t talk to me about “you can’t teach size”. Kids, yea you can and in the grand scheme of things...it’s about your ability to play this game not your measurables.
There’s not a better man in high school basketball….he’s my hero, my mentor and best friend..he’s never measured success by wins, he’d rather attend 300 former player weddings than win 300 games. Congrats, Dad…it’s been my absolute pleasure to watch.
@St_Paul_BBall
makes the state tournament just days ago for the 15th consecutive year, and now tonight the
#ctbb
program accomplished another historic milestone.
That milestone is Head Coach Steve Phelps winning his 300th career game. Congrats coach.

Was behind UConn’s bench for a preseason game...amongst the many great things Dan Hurley said he kept pointing out to his guys that “we never pick each other up off the floor. That has to change”. I loved every second of it.

He’s been a HS coach for 40 years and when it came to the post season he has always preached about the “journey” in March and “going out on your own terms”. Sad my dad and his kids won’t have the chance for to experience either. Proud of the season these guys

My 4 y.o. Had to get her flu shot today. I told her since she was so brave that I’d get her lunch anywhere she wanted....”daddy, I want Popeyes!” You are your father’s daughter, little one. 😂😂🤦♂️
A lot has been said about me and this kid.. lies, bs...I’d shoulder it again cus I know the truth and I know the quality of this kids character. You’ll never know how impactful you’ve been to me as a man and coach. I love you, Ty. Thank you for making me better. We’re not done.
Can’t thank

PROSPECTS!! While we appreciate your emails/interest we do not hand out offers via email off film! If you have a genuine desire in our program you should come to Prospect Camp! You’ll be coached/evaluated by our Bryant staff but also by D3 and D2 coaches!
Little sis is a flat out bucket! 1k as a junior and she missed half of her sophomore season with an injury!! Came back this season and killed it like she never left! Proud of you and happy for you Janessa! Now go get you a ring!!!!
Tonight I walked into Target w/my wife and 3yo daughter. I walked out of Target w/my wife, daughter and a doll that you feed so it can shit itself. So, yea...sup 🤦🏻♂️😂🤣
PSA- PROSPECTS...
I respect the hustle, especially during this unprecedented time. You have to take some control of your recruitment..BUT PLEASE..stop sending emails with no punctuation, subject titles w/ “tha goat”, lack of greetings etc. it just isn’t a good look! 🙄🤦♂️
As we go through our spring workouts and end of year meetings it is worth noting that we (
@PostMBB
) finished in the top 10 in the country in D2 for steals and TO’s forced and were top 5 in the country in offensive rebounds! Those are direct results of maximum effort!
Chace did not disappoint yesterday, we appreciate the support! Gotta clean some things up and move forward. Our group is resilient and eager to be great!
I consider myself lucky to have been able to spend everyday with my guys since September. I learned and I grew. I appreciate the efforts of our players, you guys made me far better than I could have made you. Also, special thank you
@CoachK_PostU
for taking a chance on me!
Proud of my guys. Did everything right, executed perfectly on the defensive end. Sometimes, you just can’t put the ball in the hoop enough. We’re never an easy out in March...we pride ourselves on that.
@St_Paul_BBall
I love all y’all, LOVE!
High School and youth coaches....we begin our fall workouts today. I encourage you all to reach out, come see a workout or practice this season. Bring some of your players, expose them to the different levels of college b-ball and help offer perspective! 🦅🏀

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there, hardest job in the world! Salute! A special happy Mother’s Day to my mom, the rock of our family and my greatest inspiration...I love you!
My grandfather is 95...still tickles the ivory’s everyday, goes to the gym, drove me to church today and fist bumps on the regular. He’s also got enough shrapnel in his body from WWII to make TSA pull him out of line. A true legend and inspiration, what a different breed!
When your 3 y.o. Has been up all night with the stomach bug and taken up residence in your bed w/her mom...you figure out that season 3 of The Office might be your favorite season.

Daly spent the last two seasons at UAlbany after a stellar playing career at St. Joe's and Delaware.
Out to dinner with the fam..”that guy” behind me...”I don’t wear a fu#%in mask. If I die, I die”....cool bro, but what if you kill me? Or 1 of my kids? Or my parents? The ignorance still baffles me.

With basketball each day you either get better or you get worse but you never stay the same. We’ve got to get a little better everyday..when you can do that, special things will happen, individually and collectively.
My guy
@AbdulAjia24
is breaking out!!!!! Stayed ready, kept his head down and got better everyday in practice! Opportunities present themselves without warning, have to be ready to take advantage of them! Proud of you my man!
My youngin is tuff!! Came from no offers, wasn’t playing early on in the season to becoming our starting PG as a freshmen! Proud of you
@isaiahholmes23
let’s keep slayin!!
So many misled kids when it comes to level of play beyond HS...either by themselves or others. I urge you all..talk to your coach, have him contact local D1-D2-D3 coaches and go see their practices. It offers perspective and can in fact be a reality check.
I gotta pick up the little one today cus mom is tied up. No problem, I’ll do anything for my little lady....including filling in at “Mommy and Me” Yoga 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🧘🏻♂️🧘🏻♀️that was conveniently not mentioned until this morning 😂😂😂
But wasn’t voted All COPPER Division in HS 😂😂😂😂Congrats
@mattgarry_
I remember our conversation last year after that embarrassing outcome lol. Proud of you bro, enjoy your moment.
I’ve seen Chris speak live 3 times, I’ve read both books that feature him, I’ve seen all the specials, even tried to bring him to the HS I was coaching at. His message, his delivery of it, it just hits different w/young people and it’s a message all of them should hear. Powerful!
Former NBA player Chris Herren has shared his story of recovery before.
Tonight, see how Herren is using his own experiences to help address the struggles of high school students in the ESPN special, "The First Day":
Our first dress rehearsal today against a formidable opponent in Assumption. This will be a great test for our guys to gauge our progress over the first week. Excited to compete today!!

@DuvalSimmonds
Meanwhile...kids w/out rankings who compete at a high level, do all the things that high level kids SHOULD be doing yet go w/out offers based on the politics of recruitment. I.E no circuit AAU club, excuses in my opinion. Rankings don’t translate to the next level-ability does
My low/mid D1 and high academic coaching friends need to call me about
