Extremely humbled and grateful for this opportunity.
It is such a privilege to be a coach. Looking forward to competing everyday with the team to be our best on the court and in the classroom.
We are now looking at 24’s and 25’s for recruiting this summer!
Send your summer schedules over if you think you are a DAWG! I am looking for players that want to win WITH their team, competitors, communicators, and want to earn a great education.

Forever thankful for my time here.
I’ll be cheering this team on always and the incredible individuals I was fortunate enough to work with.
Thank you to this team, the coaching staff, admins, The Gannon family, and the Erie community for taking me in.
When your village is strong anything is possible & today I am grateful for mine.
I received my MBA today. This goes out to the GUWBB team that inspires me by how they handle anything that comes their way, my family who told me to do it, and my endearing friends for their help 💕
And that is a wrap on June Elite Camp!
To all our campers thank you for the ENERGY, effort, and willingness to compete in every drill!
This squad - thank you for being intentional, focused, and filled with energy!
Big DAWG MENTALITY
Today I’m so excited to say I have bought a house!! In a pandemic, transitioning job, after months of searching, and everything else I look tired cause we working over here 💯💯.
Excited for this new journey and that my dog has a yard to be her crazy self.
Thank you, Saint Nation!
I am incredibly blessed to have been in this position as Head Coach at DYU. It was a privilege leading this team into the D2 era.
Thank you to each player, coach, recruit, fan, friend, and family member who believed in me and poured into the team.
I love being a coach. Seeing kids battle for themselves and their teammates daily does something for the soul.
All the tough convos, early mornings, long days, and everything else that comes with - still the best job on the hardest day.
Our 1st Elite camp is in the books!
Thank you to all the players that came, the AAU and HS coaches that sent players this way, the parents that drove out, and the DUWBB crew for their work!
@CoachSchuba

In high school yes I traveled across the state for my AAU team however the off days of team practice I spent countless hours on the park outdoor court that was not in the best shape because it was close
Whatever you have at your disposal is good enough to get work in & reps
The TEAM!!! The Team! THIS TEAM💯
The belief, the proven confidence in their abilities from preseason to now, and the connectedness and heart of this team is SPECIAL!

Heartbroken for athletes everywhere and especially our Gannon Basketball team. While it's the best option for safety and health it is still devasting to end a season like this. So proud of the team, seniors, and everyone involved this season. What they did was special.
Last practice of the year followed by a sit down team dinner. Eating team dinners seems small but it’s not. The laughs and 🏀 stories shared over good food while competing are the memories remembered not to mention playing in March.
USCAA National Championship tomorrow at 12pm!
Huge shoutout to
@CoachAJump

You brought the 🔥 on the Assistant Coaching Call this morning.
Thank you so much and I can’t wait to watch your team this year!

There is a reason success has followed you. One of the best in the business

Shoutout to this staff!
They came in the thick of it and gave 💯 every day. They both have other jobs, studies/looking to get back overseas. Their dedication, love for this team, heart, 🏀 knowledge, and so much more led to a great 1st year. Thankful! -

As a coach and player I have missed many holiday moments with the family. I’m thankful to be with mine this year and soaking up every minute with them.
Why do I love basketball?
The people. Always the people that this sport has put into my life from new acquaintances to former teammates and coaches to colleagues turned friends - this game has truly been a blessing with placing quality people in my life.
Fearless Together was our motto and focusing on what can be controlled.
Game finished at 12:15 AM EST and was a relentless battle but we stayed together and focused on next play mentality.
This TEAM is special. Proud of this team and coaching staff.

If toughness was defined by a person.
It’s not always about what you can do to score it’s what you can bring to elevate your team.
@anna_jankovic
is one who does the tough stuff on court regardless of her own points.
Sending love, peace, & encouragement for all the coaches that are in unsure territory. With everyone that is posted that gets a new job means a whole staff without a job/security.
Keep going
You are more than a coach.
This TEAM!!!
This team battled so hard for each other. I couldn’t be prouder to be their coach. Also,
@2kRed4
@9ouncedes
came prepared always with a suggestion, reassurance, and kept speaking life into the team. THANKFUL
Two tough road dubs to start out 2023. This team 💯💯
Adopting Selena has to be one of the best (coaching) decisions I have ever made.
She doesn’t care about the wins/losses, good/hard days she is just one happy pup.
It can be tough to manage the time but it is worth it!
Thankful for this team! No matter what comes their way they have bought into the process of loving their teammate through it all which has led to an incredible season so far and we aren’t done yet!
We have a special group here as we go into the USCAA’s National Tourney!
So thankful for her support. My mom drove down 6 hours for our game. She even was yelling in the stands like she used to do when I was playing 😂 Love this woman 💙💙
Great team dub where everyone touches the floor supported by an earned DAWG of the game
@anna_jankovic
with a double double and also
@briannemoxley
for a solid 23pts.
We regroup tomorrow for another road contest. Day by day we grow.
Huge congrats to

5’10 dominate post who is one of the hardest working, coachable people I have met and does whatever is necessary for the teams success. Congrats Sam so happy for you!
One thing I learned in college that is a huge part of why I coach is that this game that we love and make a big part of our lives is not an identity.
Coaching or playing this game is not one’s sole identity.
You are more than a coach. You are more than a player.
The person you want on your team.
The regardless of circumstance, “I’m ready to be the best teammate I can be” type of person whether it be cheering, scoring, or getting a stop.
Proud of you
@anna_jankovic
Incredibly proud of this team and coaching staff for a terrific year building and getting better each day!
It was a great evening celebrating all the Saint student-athletes and teams on a job well done!
A great evening celebrating our 2022-2023 student-athletes last night at the Athletics Banquet!
Proud of these women and all the work they do in the classroom, in the community, and on the court!
Go Saints!
1️⃣9️⃣ Rebounds
@LilleeGustafson
breaking a 2003 school record for most rebounds in a single game🔥🔥
Proud of our grit and relentless effort today even though the ending result wasn’t what we wanted.
Thank you

It was great sharing some of my favorite details about finishing with everyone!
Shoutout to your team for being so engaged for each presenter💯
I don't think there are enough words to express how grateful and thankful I am this year. It is a tough year. However, relationships have been mended, I work with the best people, work for a great school, and get to have fun, teach, and learn from 14 of the best while coaching.
So proud of this team. All we need is everything we are. We played together and competed 💯
I am so blessed to be with this awesome group of humans.

World Mental Health day was yesterday.
For a period of time my identity was basketball. I put so much into it and every mistake destroyed me.
Once I stepped back, took care of my mental health and realized where my identity came from I was able to play free and way better.
Thankful for community
I was asked today about my Bball career from playing to coaching and it is clear that I am because of my community. From the coaches & teammates in college & pro, my mentors in the business that challenge me, & friendships- a solid community so rewarding
Introducing Selena!!
She loves walks, belly rubs, trying to be a lap dog, and smiling.
Thanks to Bissell Pet Foundation for empty the shelters day and to Humane Society of West Michigan I found love at first sight.
Quarantine just became a lot more doable thanks to this her.

Tuesday is trash pick up and the weekly act of taking the bins out and putting them back is a reminder of accomplishing something I didn’t think I would be able to do on my own or this year

We have been in a 3 year transition from D3 to D2 with this past season being the last year.
We would have earned a 5 seed spot to the D2 East Coast Conf. Tournament if we could have played in it.
We thankfully were able to play in the USCAA National tournament and won it!
Today I got the privilege of celebrating a player that has forever left her mark on this program.

you are a leader, tough, kind, funny - mostly😂, smart, have the biggest heart, have a killer finish, and are a phenomenal teammate.

Great basketball is being played at all levels.
This is a great time to learn new things to incorporate into post season workouts.
So thankful for all that D’Youville University does for it’s students and their orientation into all that DYU has to offer!

Finished up moving and saw some of the best Gannon crew around, now hitting the recruiting trail to Ohio, then finishing the drive back to Davenport.
July is busy but it’s good - thankful
So incredibly blessed to be here and so glad that we at least were able to play in the PSAC Championship and come away with it.
Love this TEAM, love these coaches, and thank you to everyone that supported Gannon Basketball this year!!!!! We love you!
A HUGE team dub with some 🔑’s:

@HaleyKirisits
going 6-6 in second half from the field
@anna_jankovic
with a dbl dbl with 10 rebs & 15 pts
The energy from the whole team was locked in!
Thankful for rest
Always tempting to be going 24/7 for FEAR of getting behind but rest is important too. Too many coaches burn out because we always are going- never taking time to reset.
Thankful to work at a place that supports rest so I can also exemplify it for the team.
Just Us Saints‼️
Proud of these Dawgs for their grit, togetherness, and confidence this weekend.
Not just for their on court work but proud of who they are off the court and in the classroom always finding time to study and get their work done early.
Day by day we grow.
The last two seasons have been filled with thankfulness and joy. I am proud of this team and look forward to seeing them continue to flourish.
Badass Intelligent Kind Women‼️
I have made the difficult decision to resign and look forward to what is next!
