Everyone should learn CPR. As a coach I've taken the courses dozens of times, hoping I'd never need it. But I'm so glad I know it just in case. Every second counts in situations where CPR is needed. AED training is also important.

It's time to check in on Sipple watch again:

Game story finished. The one overriding thought I had driving home was that it's a shame that Brayden Sipple's senior year coincides with a pandemic. It's a shame this community can't celebrate the best player to ever play at BHS to the fullest because of this virus.

This is such terrible news. Brian was one of the best people I've had the chance to work with over the years. His willingness to go public with his cancer battle will hopefully benefit others who wage their own battle. Prayers to his family, both immediate and his Falcon family.
Our hearts are broken over the loss of beloved Coach Brian Mudd. He has always been an inspiration, but he has exemplified strength, courage and Faith throughout his battle with Brain Cancer. He made us all better people. Thank you Coach and Mrs. Mudd for sharing yourselves.

I know that many people who follow me have a rooting interest in Tuesday, and that's fine.

In this business, you root for people. I was always rooting for Scott Killen to succeed at Wilmington.

Normally I would say this is a "homerun" or a "grand slam" hire, but I don't think those words do this hire justice. This is the kind of hire you make if you want to build a program that contends for Horizon League titles every year. So incredibly happy for Jeff and for NKU.
