Man winning the @UANextBHoops summer championship is a lot sweeter then most will ever know. In February we couldn't get anyone in our GYM. We had so many things and people working against us in our own community. I had people tell me what was I thinking

I just want to give a shout out to @bigsloan32 and his professionalism. Everyone in Houston knows me and him haven't been seeing eye to eye this year. But guess what, last week in Dallas he was sideline at Everyone of our Defenders games working the Coaches. Have to respect that.

The last couple of years have been tough of me, one thing you are never told when you are young thats as you grow older you have to watch the ones close to you pass away. So cherish the moments with the ones close to you. Blessed to see another year 🙏 37 and counting!!!!.

Interesting coincidence, last 2 classes our Pgs were under recruited and everyone was saying what they couldn't do instead of what they did great. Both go to college and start as true freshman. Keep listening to those other folks there's one about to prove folks wrong again.

It's funny how there's a lot of "basketball people" in the city of Houston that's quick to discredit a person or think they too good when they haven't accomplished anything of value. There's more to Building a successful program then just drawing on a board and blowing a whistle.
