Our season ended in the National Tourney game vs Clarke (67-61). Since then, they’ve won their next 4 games by an average of 13 pts and are now in the NAIA national championship game. Congrats to them, but it speaks to our talent and competitiveness. We’re tough.#RunAsOne.

Losing is always hard to take, but witnessing our short-handed group outplay the #3 team in the country for 3 quarters was incredibly rewarding. Opportunities arose, and we stepped up.

I don’t expect to recruit perfect people (at 17 & 18), just want to find those who are willing to learn and improve. As a college coach, I’ll create a culture that molds the new ones to fit - that’s part of teaching & coaching.
Mercy w/the “bad body language, doesn’t cheer for teammates, walks through warm ups, not driven enough.” College coach AAU tweets. Some of the coaches tweeting this show up late to the 8am game, forgot their packet in the car, and are the same type of teammate in the office!.
