Mater Dei High School Athletic Director/retired GBB Coach. Father of 4, Bleeds Celtic Green, 12 time CIF Champion, 2024 WBCA National GBB HS Coach of the Year.
I am a rule follower but I really dislike referees who are more concerned with untucked jerseys than the basketball game happening right in front of them.
Alone in the gym after a big playoff win. Spent a lot of time in here. 16 years and counting. Enjoy the journey and the people who become a part of your life along the way!

Love coaching this awesome group of kids. Seed us 5th. Go ahead. Send us on the road again. Go ahead. Ton of respect for teams in the Open Division, all talented and well coached. Crazy system but we go where they tell us.

My mom passed way to soon. She never got to see her grandchildren and missed so much. As a coach I have had the opportunity to work with so many dedicated, loving moms. Enjoy every moment!!! Happy Mothers Day

Every player should read this. Our kids train hard, play hard, but how much thought goes into what you are eating. Players, if you want an edge, this is a must!!

@MaterDeiGBB
MD head coach Kevin Kiernan's career is going to stand with 900 wins. Not a bad number to retire with. He hasn't ruled out coaching again at some point and in some capacity in the future.
This is usually Camp of Champions time for
@MaterDeiGBB
coaches and players but due to COVID-19, for the first time in 20 years there will be no camp for girls grades 3-8. We will miss all of our great campers and all the fun! Stay safe!
Our two seniors Caia Elisaldez and Hannah Vela. Five feet and change tall!’ Both captains. Both committed to play at the next level. Don’t let anyone ever tell you dreams don’t come true
