Talked to college coach about a player they liked. I asked what caught their eye. College coach said her EFFORT was amazing and she actually passed the ball and tried to defend it. You mean she didn’t take 35 dribblers and try to score 1 on 5? EFFORT is contagious!!
I have not ran across a coach in America that is a better giver of basketball knowledge than Mike Neighbors at the University of Arkansas. A high school guy that has never forgotten where he started. Battle on!! Thanks for being a friend first!! Go Hogs.
Demyla Brown is one of the most impressive kids I have ever had. She is what you want all players to be like. She stays everyday and works on her game. She is a perfectionist and hates to lose. Keep battling!! Senior year will be unreal!!
Our NLR basketball teams the last 3 games have played in front of at least 2500 fans in those 3 (7500)games. Watched a D1 game today play in front of 500 people. NLR is special and our community is special. But most important is our student athletes are AMAZING! Battle on!
Don’t ever make a deal with your competitive kid!! Deal made: I will never ask you to go to gym but if you ask me to go no matter when or where we will go!! Labor Day=1000 shots!! Battle on!!
Rant from high school coach: college coach if you offered a kid and then signed someone at that position. Be a grown person and tell the kid that you are taking the other commitment. Don’t duck the kid that you spent time recruiting and then leave high school coach to clean up!!
Thank you to all the great student/athletes that I have had the pleasure of coaching and to all of my coaching staff both present and past. You are the reason that NLR women’s basketball is special!! Big thanks to Mandy Fimple and family for the support and counseling sessions.

Senior night tomorrow for these 4 amazing young women!! They have been a true blessing to coach the past 4 years. Each of them have shown amazing growth in those years. They are a huge reason why NLRGBB is amazing. I love them and am extremely blessed to be called their COACH!
Starting my 25th season and 18th season at NLR tonight. Home opener for 9th grade girls at 5:00 P.M. Varsity girls will follow. Still get excited, still set up gym, still clean locker rooms, still clean gym floor, still fill out scorebook, still layout uniforms,
We have had our individual prescription meetings this week. Had a first when a younger talented kid told me she wanted me to coach her harder and to hold her to a higher standard. She then said that is what will make her team better. She wants to lead!! Wow!! Battle on!!

Where the love for sports started!! Played with 3 head coaches, a federal prosecutor, a big wig at Tyson, big business owner and principal of a school. Baseball field, football field and a barn with a goal!! My parents yard was the field of dreams!! Battle on!! We kept score!!

If a college coach believes in you enough to offer you. Make sure you understand that the offer has led to a huge investigation into the player. No college is going to invest 100’s of thousands dollars into you if they don’t believe you can help them keep their job!! Business!!
AR Select 2026 Katie Fimple is putting on a clinic at team camp! Averaging nearly 27 ppg! Such a great kid who holds herself to high standards!
@fimpdog
Eye Leak! Had a retired coach stop me yesterday after watching Katie and her team play. He said he explained to some fans the work Katie has put in to do what she does. Then he said I bet her Poppa Donnie in heaven is smiling because she shoots like him. Battle on!
11 years ago, Nate Oats was a high school basketball coach & math teacher outside Detroit.
He sold Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, Capri Suns and Pop-Tarts out of his office to fundraise for his team.
Now, he's taking Alabama to its 1st Final Four ever.
How's that for perseverance? 🫡
DAD'S EPIC AFFIRMATIONS: Costumes, props, and daily motivations are all part of one dad’s school drop-off routine for his daughters.
