Rest in Peace to an incredible man. Tony Huml was with us from the beginning of LiR. He leaves a tremendous void behind to those that loved him. Grace, character, grit, love, and kindness personified. Love you brother, you & your teaching will live on in all of us ❤️🙏❤️

Great team defense starts with how well you guard the ball as individuals. The most important pillar, no doubt. Reaching/lunging, leaning forward, & poor closeouts are your typical issues that need correction.
Coach Tony Bennett on guarding the basketball: “Be a road block. spread out, get wide and work to keep the ball in front.”

Dear Kids - . You don't have to "Grind" everyday. That's nonsense being sold to you by an adult. Likely an adult with an agenda. It's not healthy & not ideal for your development. You should have FUN everyday. That's it. Have goals/direction, but have fun. It's ok, I promise.

Wisconsin is the best state in the nation for D3 hoops. If you're getting interest/attention from one of our D3 schools you are a baller & should feel really proud. Elite level hoops with fantastic coaching, academics, culture, etc. .

That's '22 G Emily Mortenson & that's going in. As July starts, she's on my mind. D2/D3 coaches - You won't see her play, she's recovering like the beast she is. Knock down shooter, fierce competitor/defender, & incredible teammate. Reach out, you will not regret it. Easy yes.

Regarding @elliana_mk. When I asked my youngest daughter Aubrey who her best friend was, Ellie was her answer. Aubrey can't talk, can't move, can't breath on her own. But her brain is fully functional. Only thing she wants in life is to be included. Ellie 👍❤️
Last up, but definitely not least!! @elliana_mk . E has the unique ability to make everyone smile when she walks in a room.She’s “the glue” of our team.Brings people together. Regardless of ur different personality traits, u will be friends with, and feel comfortable around E 💙

LiR Parents - It will be over before you know it. Cherish your time on this journey. Stay focused on what's truly important - your daughter having the time of her life playing this beautiful game with her friends. All the other stuff works itself out, I promise.
And just like that it's over. Bittersweet, but it's time. We've gotten everything we wanted out of this journey together. One of the first things she said was - "I'm sad you're done coaching me" 😭. Impossible to be more proud of someone. Just an incredible young woman.

Thank you @letitrainbball,@CPooley4, @MP_Lindsey and CO Rockies Triple Threat team for letting this girl @emortenson23 finish up her AAU career with a bucket! It’s not the bucket she wanted but it’s hard to hit from 3 with a shaky shooting hand and fighting back tears! #family
