@NJSIAA
considers going back to the old winter schedule. I understand the purpose was to allow multi -sport student athletes more time to rest between seasons. But I assure you they were at AAU tryouts and spring sport’s “captain’s practice “ all week.

Immediately upon hearing the news, and certainly after seeing this great picture, I thought of my friend,

who said it this way, If you'll stay SMALL enough LONG enough GOD will make you BIG enough SOON enough! 👏🏻👏🏻 ☘️
There aren’t many coaches that would say coaching in the GMC Gold is a dream job. I’m an exception. It’s my dream job in every conceivable way. I feel privileged to work in a place where my faith, passion for young people, and the love of the game merge.

I was a teenage alcoholic, addicted to drugs by the time I was 18. Made one bad decision after the next that cost me and my family lost time and opportunities. Got saved in 1990 relapsed in 1995. Then God said, I will RESTORE the years… I’ve been clean and sober ever since.
I recall the primal scream of my mother when she received the news in 1976 that my brother committed suicide. I pray no mother ever needs to be on the receiving end of a call like that. My sincere prayers for Regina King this AM. 🙏 1 800 273-TALK
This is Jerry. A senior who just scored his first varsity point. Jerry played MS 🏀 but thought his services would be better served on the debate team. He’s a brilliant student with a bright future. Last night was Jerry’s moment. 👀 bench reaction, fan reaction. HS sports matter!
Coaches that don’t report the opposing players stats on are a special kind of petty. It literally takes 5 minutes. Do you, but save the it’s about the kids chatter.
I think it would be wise for us to cherish every trip down the court. Every practice rep, team meeting, film session, game ... etc... beyond thankful that we get a chance to allow these kids to compete with their high school teammates. Be safe Jersey 🏀 ballers.

In 2014 I accepted the job as MS boys basketball coach at Timothy Christian School. I’m humbled and honored to announce that I have accepted the varsity boys head coaching position, and will be returning to the sidelines for the 2019-2020 season.
#Grateful
Grateful to the writers that recognized our hard work this season. The Blue division has great teams and great coaches. To be mentioned among them is a blessing. I pinch myself everyday that I get to work at a place where my love for the game and my faith are not in conflict.
My baby boy, Kairo with the poignant reminder. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, From whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, Which made heaven and earth. Psalm 121:1-2
“That wasn’t networking, that was God.”
@YolettMcCuin
I felt that! As I often say, God doesn’t take us from point A to point B in a straight line. Our victories are in our winding places. 🙌🏻💪🏻
This is a pic of my oldest brother, Tommy. He’s ringing the 🔔 after completing his cancer treatment successfully. Still standing, still smiling, still funny as ——. Lord, I praise ya! 🙌🏻🙏
My oldest brother Tommy passed away today. He fought cancer the same way he lived his life. With determination and LOTS of humor. Take thy rest my dear brother, we will see you in the morning.
In 2 hours by God’s grace, I will enter year 29 of sobriety. God has been incredibly kind to me. I think I’ll continue to trudge the road to happy destiny.

Them: “they won’t be good next year, Diamond is going to Maryland.” Me: Unless coach Taylor and the twins are going with her they’ll be fine. NEVER doubt a champions ❤️
No. 18 Franklin is going to play in its 6th straight sectional final. Warriors go on the road and upset No. 11 Bayonne 69-42 in the North 2, Group 4 semis. Dominant effort from Franklin, especially seniors Keona and Kennady Schenck

If God wants to expedite the process. I refuse to let people, presuppositions, or old ideologies cause me to miss what God has for me to do. Thanks to the amazing media team at Living Word Church.
16 years ago she said, I do. She is an incredible example of the grace of God in my life. Lets keep going, and I vow to remember, that we grow better together. 6/12/04
I coached this young man for two years. He didn’t score 1K, didn’t receive a scholarship. That said, I think this is MUCH better. Kid got me tearing up on a Monday morning.

DeSantis’s banning of AP African American Studies is disturbing and dangerous.
In my most watched whiteboard, I explain how censoring our history of its worst moments is a tool designed to obscure CURRENT attacks on a diverse democracy.
WATCH and RT:
In 2018 my favorite car was totaled in a wreck. By God’s grace, no injuries. I did the minivan/ Subaru SUV thing in the days following. Yesterday, my wife surprised me with this! Yup, I’m humbled be her generosity.
I have a new gig. I’m my 19 y/o son’s assistant coach. (3rd/4th) grade. We get beat often but we are winning. Why? They have fun. Play man 2 man D. Learning to play off 2. Learning to communicate on both ends. Never sub out without dabbing up your teammate. Bench energy matters!
I received an official warning from an official during tonight‘s game. Here’s the exchange. Him: (In an angry tone) “Jesus Christ” Me: “May His name be praised” blows whistle goes to table and records a warning. 👀 not exactly suffering for Christ, but still.👀😂
Proud dad alert. She doesn’t play AAU, but she LOVES playing with her friends and classmates. I worry about the future of HS athletics, but I believe HS sports make a difference. Hannah is proof that it’s still relevant and still has a place in the life of the student athlete.
Lil role reversal. I had to snap a pic of the incomparable,
@gmchoops
himself. What Greg does to make the student athletes experience a better one is unmatched. Thank you, Greg.
I’ll never grow weary of thanking Greg Machos
@gmchoops
for his amazing coverage of the high school game. By the end of today he would have covered 7 games in the play in round of the GMC tournament. He is making the experience so much better for so many student athletes.
#amazing
17 years ago today she said, I do. The single greatest example of the grace of God in my life. 3 kids, 2 churches, and 2 businesses later we are still standing. It was then and is now the LORD’S doing it’s marvelous in our eyes.

I’m a competitive guy. If we play checkers I want to beat you. When the ball goes up, I want to win.That said,I can celebrate the success of a competitor, and I certainly refuse to talk negatively about a teenage student athlete. Remember, we are teaching lessons beyond the game.
This is my oldest sister Patty, she was like a second mom to me growing up. Where she traveled, I traveled. She has dementia and frankly it’s AWEFUL. My sister Theresa takes AMAZING care of her. Tonight I walked in, Theresa: “Pat, whose that?” Her immediate response:“Dennis” 😍💔
Out until the wee hours on Friday for a 40th celebration. An amazing sweet 16 last night. I danced like I was 17 again. But looking at this watch, it’s TIME for church. For the record, I plan on dancing there too.
#Grateful
Only one kid in the entire country can get me to pay $40 to see her play. Our grand baby, Payton Nicole Wright. She played great. But my favorite part was her coach correcting her for not sprinting to help a teammate up.
Happy 16th birthday Hannah. I love the young lady you are and the woman you’re becoming. Keep speaking up, keep advocating for the marginalized. And ALWAYS, Dare 2 Be Different. Celebrating God’s kindness towards us, all day long.
Wife: I’m picking up Tastee’s, you want anything?
Me: No. Being married to me long enough to know I’m often wrong, and usually have no idea what I want, she arrives home with this.👀 Fellas, find you, a REAL ONE!😂😂
When I took the reigns at TCS, which is the smallest division in the GMC, there was ONE PROGRAM that sent a coach to introduce themselves. That program? St. Peter’s Jersey City. Think about that.
Wasn’t it just yesterday that we were dropping her off in Kindergarten? Off to Hannah’s 8th grade graduation. There is no greater example of God’s grace in my life than my children.
#Grateful
The season ended today in the semis of the state tournament. I am one PROUD dad. Her growth on and especially off the field has been impressive. Great job, Leah!

The guy on the right is a coaching legend in the GMC. Entering year 26 and closing in on 400 career wins. The other guy is in year two, and trying to build something. Thanks to coach Mate and

If you’re familiar with Jersey hoops (especially the shore conference ) you may have heard this a time or two, “ A 3 point basket from Sarah Karpell.”

For those unfamiliar with black liberation theology here is a powerful resource for you to familiarize yourself with it. It’s authored by the late, great, Rev. James H. Cone (Memory Eternal).
Coaches come in all colors, shapes, and sizes. Here I am looking like the mayor of Munchkin city, standing next to coach Sebastiaan. Fortunately for us, I just needed to coach against Bas, and not defend him in the low post.

TGBTG.our daughter Hannah received word that she has been accepted into Seton Hall University and has received an academic scholarship for 80K. Come on say it with me, WON’T HE DO IT!#🙌🏻🙌🏻
So grateful to be able to do this with these guys. Post season awards tonight in PWay. Hannah Most Outstanding Player award. Leah, Rookie of the Year. And Jonathan completed his first year as an assistant coach. Audrey? Well, she’s the real MVP.

Perfect passing drill. Great practice drill. Sprint everywhere, communicate. GREAT energy in the building this summer. Side note: one player slips. No worries, pick yourself up and keep going. We have a rule: we don’t criticize we exhort one another.

is the REAL DEAL. 2 sport athlete who has the size and speed at WR to make an IMPACT. Complicated playbook? No worries he’s an A+ student. Keep working Sherief. God has BIG plans for you.
I believe in celebrating others. Giving flowers while they can still smell them. I was on it from the jump, but the job
@Coach_Rooney_
has done at Manville is remarkable. I for one, am a fan. For those that don’t think culture matters. Use the Mustang’s as an example.

With 14.2 seconds remaining and her team down 1, Leah was sent to the line for 1 shot. I went to record the moment and was greeted with “I Phone storage full”👀thanks to

for the video. Baby girl knocked it down. The game went to OT where the lady Tigers MS Won!
Both of my parents had brothers who were killed in action. This weekend I honor the sacrifice of my uncles, Staff Sargent Joseph Sorbino and CPL. Joseph McNulty. Time has a way of making our heroes seem older. But in fact, they were all so young.

Help me wish my son Jonathan a happy 17th birthday. Seems like just yesterday he was a premature baby fighting the good fight in the NICU. Jonathan, Keep loving deeply, keep placing value in family. Keep shooting, keep being a bright light in a sometimes dark world. Love you!🎂🎈
Do you know why the Pope wears red shoes? It’s to call our attention to those that were martyred for their faith. “The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.” When God knocked me off my beast and revealed himself to me, I wore much different clothes. He saved me anyway!
Them: you sound like a black man when you preach. (Shout out to my many African American Mentors in the faith) me: perhaps, but you should taste my Macaroni & Cheese. It makes ZERO SENSE that an Irish ☘️guy can do this. Lord, I praise ya!
Different teachers have various approaches to classroom prep time. Me, I make sure to invite the teacher in before the students arrive. Holy Spirit fill this room. 🙏

I’m blessed to be your coach. Also congrats to my own daughter, Hannah and her teammate Hailee M. If these 2 sophomores, continue to work, special things await!
Another successful media day for the Tigers in the books. I am beyond blessed. So proud of Leah and Jonathan. Leah is a sophomore and Jonathan in year 2 assisting
@CoachMicP
on the varsity girls side. Frankly, I can’t think of a better person to mentor both of them.

My kids begin online classes tomorrow. They were saddened to hear that I’m requiring them to be in full uniform. Homeroom begins at 8:00 am sharp. They will have a new appreciation for their teachers when this is over.
Dedicated as always, to my late great father, Paul Patrick McNulty. He would begin celebrating ☘️ on Valentine’s Day and end around Memorial Day. 😂 Me, well I took the “pledge” in 1995 so forgive me if I don’t share a pint with you today. ☘️☘️
