This is a stunningly shallow lack of historical perspective. Just mind boggling. "Legal" immigration from Ireland to the US was basically "find a way to get here." But your countrymen DID have privilege via the Naturalization Act. They were good to go because they were WHITE.

@Acosta
Ari you're smarter than this. Acosta is a member of the press. He's covering these events because it's his job. And the President is telling his base that he's the enemy. You being paid to speak at a college and facing blowback is not quite the same thing. Dont like it? Dont go.

I wanted to take a brief moment to talk about Kayla Delmore, one of our Blast PHX 23 kids. This isn't a story about recruiting or promotion of players/programs. It's a story about how life can be unfair and seemingly cruel and what being a great teammate is all about.

Love this picture of Cate—she continues to mature as a player and finds ways to have a big effect on outcomes without needing a bunch of shots or resorting to playing hero ball. She shares, defends, runs, and engages from the bench.

26 years ago I married my amazing wife. Being a coach’s spouse is difficult. Most coaches are obsessed w/ the job, & w/o their support & understanding it will not work. Putting up w/ me for 26 years, dealing w/ travel away from home is hard.

Not every play ends up in a stat sheet. Sprinting to stop a layup, saving the ball to a teammate, taking a charge, an extra pass, a great screen. It's the game w/in the game. As we move on from Saturday, these plays are huge in determining wins and losses.
