My favorite part of being a coach is the relationships with former players. It’s always great keeping in touch and catching up. Watching our guys flourish in life is so much more rewarding than the wins. It never gets old. I’ve been blessed with a lot of great people!
2 thoughts about youth sports from my weekend:
1) It costs more to watch AAU than it does to watch the Pirates play.
2) For the love of all things good… please stop giving out rings to winners of weekend youth sports tournaments. Let’s not water down what it means to win a ring.
Appreciation post for our state and local media. Our kids were treated like big time athletes all week. We’re so lucky to have you all in WV. Thank you all!
Happy. Humble. Blessed. Loved. Proud.
At a loss for words. Love our great young men, my staff, our families, my family, and our community!
Thank you to everyone who has/is reaching out. I’ll for sure get back to everyone in time.
Love you all! Love my guys! Let’s go Mohigans!

A big congratulations to Kaden! He’s the hardest worker we face year in and year out. D1 coaches are crazy if they don’t take this winner. He would start for any team in the WCAC.
👉We need WVU students to be counted (denominator) if they’re positive tests are included (numerator).
👉Green: play with families in attendance. Yellow: play with parents in attendance. Orange: play with nobody in attendance.
👉Follow this regardless of in person school or not
“WJU firmly believes its graduates will enter the professional world prepared to use their God-given talents not solely for personal fulfillment but as men and women in service to others.”
Danny Sancomb lived that mission. Great job Coach Sancomb and THANK YOU!!

My thoughts and prayers are with the
@wwhsbasketball
family this morning. We are very close with the Beckley basketball family off the court and our hearts are bleeding for them this morning. Prayers to all of our Woodrow Wilson friends. Many prayers for the family. 🙏
College coaches take notice. Jacob King is a late bloomer who is putting on a show recently. 2024 6’6 Guard. Shot maker, good handles, long and athletic.
Hit me up for more info!

Tough loss tonight but we’re getting battle tested. We get the opportunity to face Cam Scott tomorrow who’s got 17 D1 offers including Kansas. We will be battled tested.
It’s hard to believe but 20 years ago my boys and I were able to deliver Magnolia it’s 1st Boys Basketball State Title since 1961. 10-11 in the regular season but got hot at the right time. It was also the 1st sectional title in 27 years. A great group of players and coaches. 🏆

First Erin Ball and now Danny Sancomb. Two of the best people that God has ever put into my life. I hope Danny left on his own terms. WJU used to be a very special institution. As an alum... this is disheartening and will send the wrong message to a lot of alumni. We love Danny!
It’s been such a great ride working with this guy. We’ve always gotten along 100% of the time and we’ve always supported each other through all the ups and downs. We will be buddies for life but I sure will miss you

I love our seniors and everything they have given us these last 4 years. The season didn’t end the way we dreamed but I enjoyed every minute of practice and competition with these great men! Much love to Alex, Antonio, Mac, and Lonnie! They will always be part of the family.
This never gets old! Headed back to Charleston!!

@IhlenfeldWV
We need your support
@IhlenfeldWV
To this point the student/athletes haven’t had an advocate fighting for them. We need a big player to lead the fight. Thank you for speaking up.
If we’re tied to the map then this is a good move. It gives us a chance to have a season. Stay positive. Test negative. Get vaccinated. See y’all in March!
Agree
@Coach_Tallman
! Coaches & players have continued to do what is necessary w/ following all guidelines just to give our athletes & programs an opportunity to play & compete. We were pushed back again on Wednesday & then this happens 2 days later. Come on
