Timing isn’t always perfect in this profession but this is an incredible opportunity. Our leadership is first class, the momentum across the entire campus is at an all time high, and this program is a position to make huge strides. Excited to be a Lancer!
I’ve never been an anti Monday guy but this particular Monday will be tough to beat! Hudson turned 16 and got his drivers license. I was named HC at Graceland University! Hudson and I ate like kings and got to see family.
Our season was much like life- full of ups and downs. Big time wins to gut wrenching losses. Before, during, and now after that season long journey we have loyal classmates, employees, administrators, and fans. Thanks for a great season. Go Lancers!

It’s been rewarding and fun to watch him grow on/off the court. Very proud of your hard work and dedication. Now get to the gym if you want to be the best shooter between us.

Now more than ever our world needs more Coach Taylor’s. Genuine, hardworking, put the needs of others ahead of him and still demanded excellence. I hope I can become more like him as the years pass. RIP Coach.
We would be mistaken if we didn’t “tip the cap” to our many fans that traveled to support us last night. Thanks for your energy and enthusiasm. We hope to have a great crowd next time we play in Cimpl Arena on Dec 14.

Two years ago yesterday we cut down the nets for a 2nd straight Region XI title. Yesterday I go to watch my son play on that same court. He thought it was pretty cool- I enjoyed more!

Happy (13th) birthday to the 2nd best lefty shooter in the family! He’s quite the young man and excited to watch him keep growing up. He has a real phone these days :)
Things sure do change quickly- trying to enjoy the ride. Hudson and his team took home the title in Memphis this weekend to finish the season. He still can’t beat me 1 on 1 though!
As always it was a true blessing to have

While our students remain home for break we need Yankton to come out in full force for a great small college matchup. Women tip at 6, Men at 8. Make a CIMPL decision and be at CIMPL.
Tuesday, January 2nd.
Wear your navy blue to match a special appearance for our road uniforms in Cimpl as the number 23 Lancers take on the number 1 Morningside Mustangs!

Any Iowa football fans complaining tonight- have never coached. IF you’re a coach complaining, stop it. Winning is harder than we acknowledge and that’s what Iowa keeps doing this year. Salute to the entire staff.

Hudson’s golden birthday is today. We celebrated his 14th with a trip to the NBA Summer League in Vegas. We got to see many up and coming stars, including Brodric Thomas who played at Southwestern. He’s still the 2nd best lefty shooter in the family (behind Aunt Gina)!
Okay

I don’t know you coach but I appreciate this. Those who don’t “show” it on social media are likely getting the most done. Work in silence and enjoy the results later.
Stopped by to see new Graceland University head coach

tonight in Lamoni, Iowa. The new facility, campus, and community looks great! I am excited for the future of the program.
Exciting things happening every week at Mount Marty. If you haven't been to campus: Come see it this fall. If you have been to campus: Come see it this fall- you might not recognize the place!

@SanfordPentagon
for the hospitality and running a great event to showcase small college basketball in South Dakota. Seeing family, friends, and meeting alumni made for a great weekend.
A huge thanks to Coach Bernatow and his crew (staff, family, & friends). Some places talk the talk but he showed that
@mountmarty
walks the walk in taking care of its students. Much respect.
A man of few words at times but the insight, wisdom, and genuineness behind them is second to none. Lucky to have such a great mentor be an even better father.
The Storm Lake Iowa native has done as good or better job than any coach at any level over the past 6 years. Impossible to explain to some. Tip of the cap.
I hope that people appreciate what NW MO State has done.....undefeated regular season & then win the MIAA Tourney Championship. 32-0. The job that Coach Ben McCollum has done is truly remarkable! Congratulations, & well done.

As a young (ish) coach it was an honor to be there. Many former players attended showing the impact he had. Coaching is so much more than coaching. Excited for a good friend

This is a big time stat. Very proud of our group. The best players (and teams)take care business in the classroom. Hopefully that’s our FT % next season.
We are proud to share that 84.6% of our roster had a 3.0 GPA or higher this spring. 7 members had a 4.0 this spring. Despite the circumstances they performed. Should be a good sign for next year!
