I have loved my time here as the Head WBB Coach at Mercer and I am proud of the history that we have made. The landscape in the coaching world is changing and I have decided to pursue new challenges and opportunities. I am excited to see the direction God has for my life. 🧵
Coach Landers' wife has gone to hundreds of games at UGA and she told me after the game that our
@MercerBears
fans were the BEST she had ever experienced in Stegman. Y'all were AMAZING. Thank you for the support today. I am humbled by your passion. And thankful.
I had the great honor of meeting Dr. Christine Grant after our
@IowaWBB
game. If you don’t know who she is, you should. Without Dr Grant it is very likely what we are enjoying as coaches and athletes in WBB would not be happening this month.
#TitleIX
There are only 19 WBB teams that won the regular season and Conference tournament and
@Mercer_WBB
is one of them. I am so proud of our team for the season we had. You truly Love each other and you are and always will be Champions.
In route to go recruiting in my
@MercerWBB
gear. Stopped in Columbia, SC for lunch. Guy behind the counter told me he was going to tell
@dawnstaley
that I was in HER town. I said “no I’m just passing through!” This town has her back!
I cannot wait to get on the court with our very talented team. I’m honored and excited to get to work with such an amazing staff and the overall support of our entire UF administration.

Tomorrow these 5 graduate. I believe they have made Mercer a little better place than before they arrived. And I KNOW the world will be a better place as they make their own unique marks. 🧡🖤
SoCon Champions! Thank you to
@mercerprez
for allowing our students and fans make their way to Asheville. You always make a HUGE difference!

So it happened! My book 1,2,3 Team! Is now in the Nashville downtown public library with a portrait of my great grandfather, Frances Wynkoop Keese Drury who was the head librarian before I was born. Pretty sweet moment
This is for ALL the former
@Mercer_WBB
players that ever wore the Orange and Black. Today at 1:00 on ABC we play UConn. In the words of Coach Carter, “YOU did that”. Go Bears 🐻
Prayers up for the official that injured her knee in the UConn-ND game last night. Officials work hard to advance to the Final Four as well. Sad for her and all of her dedication. 🙏🏽
"It's indescribable. I promise you I don't have words for you right now. I can't tell you how happy I am right now."

Y'all see that guy holding the ladder? He also watches my dog when I go out of town.

padding his Mercer education resume. He does it ALL!!
Had an amazing lunch with the most talented artist I know. I will miss my friend
@calebs_canvas
and have always enjoyed our conversations. Love you always, Caleb
So much behind the scenes work goes into winning a Championship. Thank you to our AWESOME managers and ALL the work you do every single day. Words are not enough
Thankful that with the help of Mercer University Press I was able to write a children’s book. And the Macon community and school system allowed me to donate 1,2,3 Team! to EVERY first grader. Reminder that my time here was more than basketball.
Thank you
@briangerrity
and the special friend that made this possible. All of my former players…. This is for YOU. You made this happen. Thankful for all the people that believe in and support our
@Mercer_WBB
program
I don’t know the capacity rules for the
@SoConSports
basketball tournament in Asheville, but if you love
@Mercer_WBB
and are free Sunday at noon come on up to Asheville. We miss our fans
I played for a man in HS and college and I love them both. I grew up in TN and played at GA. Pat Summitt was the woman role model that I had from a distance. I learned women could be tough, smart, yet love their players. Thank you.
#InternationalWomansDay
I asked my Recruiting Coordinator the best way to get to my evaluation location. She said “go towards Atlanta and take a left”. On my way.

@MercerBears
fans. What an amazing crowd. The arena was energizing for our players.
@MercerManiacs
always the best along with our band and cheer team! Proud of this team!
One of the Most profound moments in my life is when we took our team to Jimmy Carter’s Sunday School class in Plains, Georgia. The message was amazing and as I sat in the church I was overcome with the emotions of what a good good human being President Carter is
This is
@AJGoodWGXA
He came to PRACTICE every Tuesday to interview me and a player. He also was physically in Asheville for our Championship run. Thank you AJ. You are a Champion as well!
Mercer Band, Cheer, Dance and Maniacs dominated the SoCon Championships, turning Asheville orange for the weekend. Mercer clearly has the best spirit program in the conference!
