A Navy SEAL was asked, “why do you train in such extreme conditions? “He replied: “Under pressure you don’t rise to the occasion, you sink to the level of your training. That’s why we train so hard.”
Seek being uncomfortable....that is where you will find greatness!

Sweet…
Sometimes you gotta just do it.
Really looking forward to taking our program to compete against the best in the country!
Thank you to all the people that helped make this happen in the last 24 hours!
Life of a Hs coach:
-Lose tough one on the road, get to hotel at 9:00pm
-Get jerseys in laundry
-Go pick up pizzas & Gatorade
-Wait for film to upload on hudl while eating pizza
-watch film of tough loss until 1:30am
-Prepare for next opponent
-in bed at 3:00
-play at 10:30
Crushed? Of course. You never want it to end.Especially with a group like this. I am so proud to be their coach.
What a year. “Too young.” “Not good enough.” “Won’t get out of the area.”
This team shatters all that. 23 wins ties school record, area champs, elite 8.

Give credit where it’s due:
@BuckyBasketball
has now won 5 state championships & led his Alma mater to a top 5 national ranking. Many won’t admit it publicly but he’s the best!
Words can’t express how much this means to me & my family. We miss my father every day. This was a special thing. Hate I couldn’t be there. I know my pops would understand why. Long live “the Captain.”
"Captain Jack Court" - that's what

How bout those crimson panthers?! So proud of my team & staff. What a deserving group to get to play in the regional. That one was for you, Captain Jack!!

Truly impressive. Happy for them!

Thank you
@Massiahmorris
🙏 for your HUGE IMPACT on our program and me personally as a coach. Well done sir.
Double dribble...game over. Let’s wait & cheer on another team from Alabama in the final four one day.... Oh wait! That likely won’t happen. Ever. Again.
Need hoops to advance in this state regardless of affiliation. I hate it for those kids man. They were deserving.
👉You know things have really changed when you got other schools & people in your own city celebrating your loss to an OUT OF STATE TEAM - WOW!
👉Wouldn’t trade it for anything

High character player right here!
Was offered on Friday morning and didn’t tell anyone including me because he didn’t want to take the focus off of our big game w/ the

team in state.
NEED MORE OF THIS!!
👉Pretty cool to see the
@BuckyBasketball
‘hardworking, unselfish, fearless’ slogan he came up with 10 years ago
@mtnbrookhoops
being used by such a high # of HS programs now. The Man changed the landscape in our state and you still see the effects of it.
AAU tryouts: any player that tries out or takes part in a tryout during the AHSAA season is a rule violation. Don’t make the mistake.
Would like to see the AAU programs do their best to honor that and not put the kids in a tough spot.
My brother right here 👇👇 is a real one. So happy for him & this ain’t surprising.
@BuckyBasketball
left it in great shape & Tyler Davis is the perfect guy to continue it.
Uncoachable vs. Coachable:
Uncoachable players:
-Take it personally
-Feel they’re being singled out
-Become very defensive
Coachable players:
-Open to feedback/criticism
-Want to be coached
-See it as a way to get better
Incredible environment at Huntsville tonight. Place was rocking! Thank you to ALL who came out & to the best student section in the state!

Year 2✅
This. Team. Is. Special.
Unreal effort by these guys all season to do some special things amidst adversity. Big step forward this year when many thought we would take a step back. Future is bright. Go Big Red!
#ShipsAreBurning
FINAL from Jacksonville State & the Sweet 16. Season ends with a 60-36 loss to a very good Oak Mountain team. Great year from a special group who overcame so much & advanced to the NE Regional for 2nd year in a row. Future is bright! Thank you, Seniors!
Very bittersweet for me! My guy is moving on to do great things at Jemison. I gained a brother when I hired him 5 years ago. “Thank you” doesn’t cover it.
Happy for you & the family!
🗣️BREAKING :
👉After 5 seasons w/ the Crimson Panthers, Coach Pete Miller has been named Head Boys Basketball Coach at 6A Mae Jemison Hs

CONGRATS TO “CAPTAIN Jack” Schweers on reaching the 400th win in his career at Trinity!
He has coached in more than 1000 games over his 42 year coaching career as a college Assistant & HS Head Coach.
This will be his last season at Trinity. I am so proud of him.
EXTREMELY proud of our TEAM! Overcame a ton of adversity and took a very stiff punch all night from Austin. Lot of respect for those guys and their coaches.
First half of the season has been electric - but we got a ways to go!
Area play starts next Friday
Little late, but yesterday marked year 16 in high school basketball - 1st day of practices for me.
Two things -
#1
I am thankful I get to do what I do with who & where I get to do it.
#2
Small things add up to big things/opportunities. Do the small very well.
#5
for Huntsville is off the board!
So incredibly happy for JD. Been in our program since 7th grade. He is such a great player & even better person. Go be great JD!
Just got home from the gym...& before that from auburn. June comp is over & as I reflect I’m blown away by how much better this team has gotten & how an entirely new group already has an identity. “We are small but we are mighty.” I love this group!

TICKET 🎫 IS PUNCHED‼️ FINAL from Sparkman Hs where the Huntsville Crimson Panthers knocked off rival-Grissom, 57-52. Luke Guyette led all scorers with 27 points. Massiah Morris added 13 points, 6 assists, 5 steals. Jamari Tate scored 10 off the bench.
The only thing that really matters is your response when: you don’t get minutes you want, coach challenges you, shots don’t fall, you get outplayed. A competitive response is what any coach worth his salt is looking for. Not a soft, me centered one.

Hearing poor reviews on the new Wilson basketballs that were rolled out in Georgia. AHSAA will roll the same ball out next season. I just don’t understand why we don’t use the same Wilson ball the ncaa use. 🤷🏼♂️
👉8 team basketball regions = 14 games that MATTER! Makes for easier scheduling as well.
Let me be clear, I think our state playoff structure is really good. I would like to see that shift and for 7A teams to be broken up easier in playoffs bc of only 32 teams.
👉1st season working under Bucky McMillan at Mtn Brook I made $1,000.
I worked as a VALET, Bus boy at a breakfast spot, trained, & substitute taught… all at same time.
I was 23 & loved every bit of it.
That season of life really stretched me. Thankful for the opportunity.
👏Congrats to
@BuckyBasketball
& his staff & players 👉 yet not shocked! That’s what he does.
Is there a hotter name in college basketball 🏀? I think not.
