Thanks to so many for your prayers. The Doctors and nurses at University of Michigan Hospital were special. The staff made & 8 hour surgery and a 5 night stay pretty seamless. Lots of staples accompanied with some new additions in my gut, but incredibly lucky. God is amazing.

The Coach Ernst told me years ago do not worry about who shows up to open gyms, The good ones will always be there. The HS coach who has to force kids to open gym doesn't know how to build a program. Inspire your players and open the gym more often.

If a HS administration tells any coach to not attend Saturday's rally, shame on them. Game over for that Superintendent or AD. I have heard comments from some supposed school leaders that are incredibly troubling. These folks need to go get a paycheck elsewhere. #LetThemPlay

Real coaching is different. It is for the long-term, not the immediate. Unfortunately in the modern education system we often create incredibly soft student-athletes that have a hard time accepting real coaching. I appreciate COACH still actually coaching his guys.

I spent many years coaching in, running events or recruiting this hoop tourney weekend. I would advise so many of these boys to find a park or get in the driveway and get better before you ruin any chance of a future scholarship by exposing your current level of game.

Some coaches will schedule a bag of blind squirrels and act like they beat somebody. They just work to keep the Clueless fans or AD off their buns. Obviously they have zero intention of ever making a real tournament run. Hollow Wins cheat the kids and program.
