Grateful for a wonderful 7 years at Georgia Tech… Honored to have worked with an amazing group of young men & staff… Very proud of all we accomplished ⬇️ under Coach Pastner (with $0 NIL or opportunity). Much love to 🐝 always. Jeremiah 29:11
0-2 the season was already over... 5-6 (ACC) the heart-breaking loss to Clemson at the buzzer... And now - 6th straight W’s to finish the regular season 15-8/11-6... GriT. fiGhT. TouGhness. We Are Georgia Tech! 🐝
Message to high school 🏀 players: With the recruiting landscape changing due to the college transfer portal, any offer moving fwd means a school is serious and it should be meaningful/appreciated - not taken for granted.
20 years thus far in coaching, but never will enjoy it more than the past month coaching my nephew’s team alongside my (81 year old) dad… Won the last game and my nephew hit the game winner - would be a perfect/smart time to retire lol ❤️
An unforgettable halftime ceremony fitting of an unforgettable team

Congratulations to
@GTCoachSwartz
on being inducted into the WBCA Hall of Fame as a player! Amazing player but an even more amazing person. The GOAT of Waukesha South Boys Basketball. ⚫️🔴
Only commercial flight of the year - to Brooklyn for ACC Tourney. But, all players and assistant coaches are still first class. Not the head coach though -
@GTJoshPastner
is in economy (by choice).

Very shocked and sad to hear the passing of Wisconsin’s (Coach) Ritchie Davis... A longtime devoted teacher and coach who always had great teams and players... Impacted so many... Gone way too soon... My sincerest thoughts and prayers to his Family.

Jeff Askew- Milw. Washington
Bob Barneson- Eau Claire Senior
Robert Berryhill- Racine Horlick
Terry Black- Milw. Mesmer
Michael Gutter- Milw. Lincoln

An ELITE “basketball player” - wow!
Not a better time of the year than late night Christmas Eve - quiet, cozy, peaceful... A time when you know everything in life is going to be OK. I sincerely wish a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year (or Happy Holidays) to EVERYONE - God Bless You Always!🎄🎅❤️💚
Getting to watch late night tv w/ my dad, eat my mom’s home cooking, workout my lil niece/nephew and overall spend quality time w/ Fam has me more than fine w/ ‘social distancing’
Former Waukesha South Boys Basketball Head Coach Billy Swartz, is now coaching his 5th grade daughter, and the 5th grade girls basketball team at Waukesha South! Dude loves the game and has such a great passion for basketball!

Today, on our off day in Madrid 🇪🇸, I had the opportunity to live a day like the late and 🐐 Anthony Bourdain exploring this beautiful culture. Just another example of how grateful I am to the game of 🏀 for all its blessings. 🐝🐝🐝
Always a very sad time when a season officially ends, especially with this 2020-21

Christmas Eve Night - my favorite time of the year. Calm. Quiet. Peaceful. The Christmas story began 2000 years before the first Christmas… And, continues now over 2000 years later. Life on Earth is hard. But, Christmas brings hope. We all need Christmas - just as God intended.
8th grade nephew has been talking a lil too much trash lately n needed a lesson... Just delivered him a nice 4-0 sweep in our 1 on 1 driveway battles 🧹 🧹🧹🧹
Very sad/angry that there are those in the media who love to report stuff simply for attention/clickbait and then are no where to be found when the obvious truth is justified - where is the accountability?!
HS Prospects: Every year. Only 60 picks (15-20 internationals). Only 450 jobs. 👀 at the names not called. Almost impossible. Dream BIG - but Focus on Process, Habits, Standards - to even have a chance. Rankings/Luck won’t help. Value getting an EDUCATION & earning a DEGREE!
Congrats to former Pius/Wisconsin 🏀Great, 🐐 Defender and even Better Person Mike Kelley on his induction (along with his wife Kelly) into the

I've honestly never seen this before.
@GTMBB
's last 4 home games:
Miami: 2-17 3pt. (Worst % of season)
Clemson: 2-20 3pt. (Worst % of season)
Louisville: 3-24 3pt. (Worst % of season)
Virginia Tech: 4-23 3pt. (2nd worst % of season)
That's 13.1% (11 of 84).
