Today was my last day with my guy Zack Stitt. He is off to Cornell University to be an assistant coach for the women’s program. His impact on this program is beyond words. I wish him nothing but the best. Tireless worker,great recruiter, X and O guy. Will miss you my friend🌪🏀
This group has worked for this moment since the first day of practice. So happy for them, our staff and our fans. It takes a village and this group has earned their trip to NCAA TOURNAMENT 🌪🏀
Boys singing Christmas carols in San Antonio airport before our flight. This team surprises me everyday. Horrible singers but spreading joy at 5 am!!!😬😂
Happy 42nd wedding anniversary to my wife Sue. She is and always been there for me. This spring has been rough with my Achilles recovery but she has been there every step of the way. Words are not enough to express my love and deep appreciation. Love you Susie Q.
40 years ago today I made the best coaching decision of my life. To a great wife, mother, Mimi and my lifelong assistant coach ( sometimes Head Coach😀) Happy Anniversary.
As we head back to Geneva, i am sitting on the bus reflecting on how grateful and blessed I am to be this team’s coach. From day 1 this was their mission, so happy for each one of them and our staff. Beyond Blessed 💯grateful!!!
The Tornadoes left for San Antonio a day late due to weather but we got here and got to visit the Alamo. Ready to play tomorrow in the Trinity University classic after a trip to the famous Riverwalk for a team meal.
Achilles surgery today!! First Thankful to my amazing God for being with me through this year. My players and my coaches for helping to make it through our really good season. Now time to take it easy. Don’t worry future GT Hooper. I will be ready for the live period.

Former Geneva College Coach Jerry Slocum spreading wisdom with the men tonight at practice. Has been at three colleges in four days. Coaches out there he is a wealth of basketball knowledge.

Had a chance to see Lyle play today and be honored by Gannon Basketball. A few former players, coaches and some current tired but happy GT’s were able to see Coach Fee and the Golden Knights win. Lyle had an okay day. 30 pts and 11 rebounds!!
Having a great time in San Antonio, tough loss last night but making sure we keep perspective of what is important in a long season. Family togetherness and understanding that memories are made each day we are a part of the Geneva basketball family🌪🏀
Had a awesome day with Jerome Bettis supporting the Jasmine Nyree Campus Celebrity Golf Classic. Not only a Hall of Fame running back but “the bus” can play some golf!!!
Had another great day of working in the Beaver Falls community. It is our pleasure and privilege to work side by side with people like Dr. Brad Frey and Dr. Henry Suhr in making a future spot for the children of Beaver Falls.

I would like to personally thank the athletic department staff at Randolph Macon for a first class treatment of our basketball program. Ath. Director Jeff Burns and Asst. Ath. Victoria Wilson went above and beyond to make our first NCAA tournament experience so special. 💯👏
Last practice before we send the team home for a little spring break then back to work for the NCCAA NATIONAL BASKETBALL TOURNEY. Joe Onderko dropped the Player of the year award off so we took the opportunity to share it as a family!
Finished up our National Tournament appearance today against a very Talented University of Ft. Lauderdale team. Couldn’t be more proud of this group. They battled all year through injury and sickness even today but they NEVER complain they just keep playing with Relentless Heart.
Great day doing our Cristian Service Project with the kids at Jefferson Elementary. Enjoyed our day with them. Highlights all day.

Took the team to Flight 93 memorial today. Most don’t remember 9/11 but they do know the meaning of sacrifice. We have teachable moments in our coaching careers. Today was just sitting back and letting the moment impacting them in a way sometimes words are not needed.

I could not more proud of this group of young men and the staff that i have the absolute pleasure to coach. We did not achieve our ultimate goal but in this difficult year “ we count it all joy” to be able to play and represent Geneva and our student body

Had another great night with Tiger Pause kids sharing the game of basketball. God continues to bless this ministry and Geneva Basketball is grateful to help out in any way we can.
Had a chance last night to see Lyle and the Gannon Golden Knights play. Lyle and his teammates played well against a good West Chester University team. They are fun to watch in person or online you will not be disappointed. Coach Fee and staff are doing a great job.
Great to see my guy Lambros Svingos this weekend at WV PREP TOP 50. Had tremendous career as a Golden Tornado. Now coaching high school in WV with his high school teammate. Family!!

Great night with some of the 2014 team that was the first 8 seed to upset a 1 seed. Stat wise had no business being in the gym. Heart wise sometimes stats do not matter!! One in my fondest coaching memories.

Everyday when i walk in my office! It will never be just one day honoring those that were lost. GT HOOPS WILL NEVER FORGET THE SACRIFICES THAT WERE MADE THAT DAY!!
Happy Fathers Day to all those that coach. We are not only commissioned by God to teach our own children but also the men and women that parents entrust us with their children. It is always a great day to be a Dad both on the court and off.
Great to be at Nick and Maddie’s wedding this weekend. Had some of the crew back together which is always special. All these guys made and are making a difference in the program🌪🏀
Alum David Bobalick stopped by for lunch and to talk some overseas recruiting. Been coaching in Thailand with his great organization. For the Love. Great to catch up

Jerry Slocum – Men’s Basketball Coach (1987-96) – Highest winning percentage in school history (71.4% - 202-81) – Led Geneva to three national tournaments.
Assistant Coach Zack Stitt and Isabella Roth of our women’s program and myself had a great 3 days of running Geneva College Girls Skill Camp. Appreciate their energy and enthusiasm and the girls had a great time learning and improving at the game.
Had a great time with some of the kids from Beaver County Special Olympics hosting them for a basketball clinic. What a great bunch of kids with hearts of gold. Blessed to have them at Metheny
Quality programs coming to College Hill and historic Metheny Field house this weekend for Coaches vs Cancer Classic. We welcome Capital U, LaRoche U, and Grove City C. Great programs with excellent veteran coaches. Will be some great D3 hoops to help fight cancer.

Really sad to hear about Lori this morning. She cared for her family,people, her players, friends and her beloved dog KC. Her spirit through her battle was incredible. The Lord was always first and foremost in her life. She has fought the good fight and finished the race!!

Nothing surprises me with Lyle. His success is a tribute to his hard work outside of practice. He will go down as one of the best to ever play at GenevA. Now at Gannon making another journey and impact to a program. So happy for him and Coach Jordan Fee and the Golden Knights.
