I’m super proud of my Friars. They did a great job all year of playing and fighting as a unit. What a selfless group of guys who wanted to win for each other. Thanks for an unbelievable season fellas!!

I’ve been fortunate to play and watch basketball all over the world. The shot clock has been implemented everywhere. It’s so hard watching HS games with no shot clock. Such a disservice to the kids and fans.
I've won multiple awards for my defensive abilities here in the US and abroad all while playing with other really good players as a collegiate and professional. But when I realized how to manage and lead a team is when I took the biggest step in my career.
One of the best players I have ever played with. But more importantly, one of the best human beings I know with a huge heart. Salute my brother! Your struggle is a beautiful one!

One of my greatest accomplishments was walking across the stage at Providence College. But my greatest accomplishment was having my son right here.

Becoming a team starts w everyone having the same goal in mind. During this process there will be trial & error, disagreements, etc. But if there is trust, selflessness, respect, & accountability, nothing that can come in the way of becoming a strong willed team destined to win.
As we journey through life, we may encounter many obstacles and adversity. All we can do is control what we can control... Attitude, Energy, Passion, Belief in self, etc. Have an awesome journey today!!
I've won championships on every level as a player. So I know the power of belief and togetherness. Being a "winner" is a mindset as well being defeated. New day on the horizon...

I've been on multiple championship teams throughout my career, and on each team, there was synergy!! And it started with me, the PG, leader, coach on the floor...
Start and end your sentence with “I’m Glad To Be Here”…. If we all genuinely had this type of mindset, we’d view our situations and opportunities differently.
We are required to help, be kind and to serve others! Make someone’s day today. A simple act of kindness may be exactly what he or she needs in their life. Show empathy!

The “greats” in my book are the players that did it on both ends. Yes they put up big numbers, but they took pride in defense and guarding the opposing teams best player. (Jordan, Bryant…)
We are all saddened by the cancellations taking place in sports. I'm especially sad for our seniors. But life is far more important than any game. So I applaud the decision to protect our kids...

My Friars did a great job this season!! The job that staff has been doing year in and year out is phenomenal! I’m so proud of the guys for the way they fought all year and found a way to win games. It’s been a pleasure to watch.
Thoughts and prayers go out to a real legend and staple in HS basketball. I wouldn’t be where I am if it weren’t for Tom Konchalski. He knew talent and trusted his own eyes. And what a memory!! Thank for all that you’ve done for me and countless young men like myself.
Great first day of practice for this group of Dawgs!! Super excited for this group. Great teams are consistent with there focus, effort and energy. Lets continue to grow and improve everyday fellas...

Gratitude, like faith, is a muscle. The more we use it, the stronger it grows. If we don’t practice gratefulness, its benefacaction will go unnoticed, and our capacity to draw on its gifts will be diminished. To be grateful is to find Blessings in everything.
Very much inspired and have so much respect for the 21 Coaches that started the
@coaches4action
. You guys have really set the bar and will hopefully continue the conversation going towards change! Much respect guys!
The game can be very chaotic at times. The best players and teams can slow the game down in their minds amidst the pressure and pace of the game and be effective. Practicing in a chaotic environment has its benefits…
Thank you Coach for all that you represented, believed in and fought for. You were a pioneer and someone who truly wanted the best for your players and all young people. We will miss you greatly Coach! RIP Coach Chaney
It’s been amazing being able to watch basketball again. But more importantly the joy that these young people have playing the game that we all love! It brings back so many memories of my AAU experience especially with Kobe, Rip and so many others.
As we enter into a new day, we have to live in the moment, the present. Can't worry about the past or future. Make the most of this opportunity we have in front of us... Game Day

Each person matters and have their own strengths and weaknesses. It was my job to recognize that as the leader and adjust accordingly. We all have similar goals in mind but being a champion should be what it's all about.
Just your typical 18-0 start at the Carrier Dome. Jamel and the Friars back in 1998, my freshman year. The gasp from the crowd when Jamel makes it 15-0...

When you start to understand your “why” and purpose, obstacles don’t seem to bother you as much. I love the game as it’s been apart of my life since forever. But more importantly as a coach, I love the relationships and impact that my guys have had on my life and vice versa
