Coming from a coach that coached a top 75 player of all time in Kevin Garnett. What's laughable in our state now is that Morez Johnson is head & shoulders the best player and nobody is close within 100 miles and his family are the most humble. Insane times!
It’s sad that you have administrations and coaches that really don’t care about these kids. Get out of your feelings and realize it’s not about YOU!! It’s about the KIDS!!!
Coach Mike Manderino was inducted into the IBCA HOF this year. Mike's 475 career victories include 255 in his years at Chicago Mendel/St. Martin de Porres and Chicago Leo. He led St. Martin to 2 state tourn. appearances. For the past 17 years he has coached at Prairie State Coll.
Thornton senior Morez Johnson is the 2024 Chicago Sun-Times Player of the Year.
Johnson, an Illinois recruit, is the 65th Sun-Times POY and the fifth from Thornton.

Sad news tonight. Legendary HOF St. Joseph's HS coach Gene Pingatore who is the winningest coach in state of Illinois history with over 1,000 wins has died at 83. He was a great coach and an even better person. God Bless.
Hey HS parents if you & your kid can’t handle being coached by AAU & HS Coaches…I mean REALLY coached which includes yelling & criticism. Your baby’s never going to make it in college!! Trust that! 🤷🏻♀️
Fake arguing with your coach to distract the defense before throwing a half-look pass for a reverse alley-oop to break a 92-92 tie in the final minute of OT in a Sweet 16 game at MSG might be the coolest shit I’ve ever seen
For the first time since 2019 when a car accident claimed the lives of his wife and daughter, former
@BadgerMBB
assistant coach Howard Moore returns to the Kohl Center.
So far in the AAU world:
AAU Coaches - worried about winning games.
Players - worried about highlight tapes and points.
Parents - making sure their kid stats are right & playing time.
HS Coaches - worried if their kids are developing bad habits in AAU.
Didn’t play spring due to injuries. watch a lot of people turn there back on me. It’s cool God didn’t have you in my plans anyway 💯. I rather get it the hard way cause it feel better when them blessing come ❤️ once I get that feel back it’s up
