The one place that holds my heart forever & always. Where I became a woman, learned about Sisterhood & that teammates are forever. Today has already been full of overwhelming support & love. I am blessed, grateful, & excited to honor those before me. Go Bearcats! ❤️🖤
Head Coaches: Respect your staff. No one wants to work hard for someone who degrades, yells, embarrasses, or is passive aggressive. Especially in front of players. It will cause your players to lose respect for you.
Coaching high-level basketball is hard. Playing is even harder.
Be mindful of your words. We must do our best to remember these are teenagers and young adults who are asked be their best every single day.
We are proud of

They are Champions. Period. 💙🐅
Memphis is a unique & special place. I have never fallen in love so quickly. I appreciate the opportunity to meet amazing people & coach unbelievable young women in an incredible WBB environment. We will never forget the feeling.

I am proud of this TEAM’s overall body of work. Who knew this squad would be playing late into March? But they believed and I pray they never stop believing in themselves. Thank you all showing up, proving it, and allowing me to coach you. It was an absolute pleasure. 💙🐅
Grateful for these women. Wouldn’t be here without them. Thank you for trusting me, believing in me, & committing to doing your best every day.
I look forward to the growth, laughs, jokes, road trips, & spirited conversations that are ahead of us.

Today was tough. When you are committed to a goal, it simply hurts more.
The cool part is…this team EARNED the opportunity to continue their season.
Thankful for this squad and all who have been on this ride with is this far. We’re not done yet. 💙🐅
I decided in November it would be perfect to share this moment with our team right before the conference tourney. Thank you
@DawnStaley
for all you do to blaze the trail, empower us, and grow our great game! ❤️💪🏽
There are too many people to thank for playing a significant part in these wins. I have been blessed beyond words to work for and with amazing professionals and coach great players. WE have won 150 games. 💚💛💙🤍
We will control what we can & get better. We had plenty of opportunities.
I will always stand up for my young women. I will not EVER accept blatant bias & disrespect from anyone. Neither will my SQUAD.
We are perfectly okay with people not knowing our side of the story. 💪🏽🐅💙
We played hard, smart, and together against a team who is on fire! Proud of this group for putting together our best effort of the season.

Congratulations to
@UofM_CoachBrin
for making her 1st appearance on the WBCA Thirty under 30 list! It’s awesome to be a part of your journey. Keep being your genuine self and allowing your light to shine bright. You gifts are rare and will serve you well. 💙
This team bounced back today with their 3rd straight home win! There’s work to do before we hit the road for 4 straight games. We continue to challenge each other to be the best version of ourselves.

Welcoming us to the Big XII genuinely is appreciated. “Welcoming” us sarcastically is corny.
Especially when…🙄
Just know I’ll stick with what is mine every single time. The growth & the journey will be exciting to watch. Thanks to those who support us.
Always…Go Bearcats.
The opportunity to witness what this COACH has done & continues to do for our young men, the city of Memphis…These are good PEOPLE. Humble & respectful with the perfect mix of tough & gritty! They are special. Respect them.
Too many fouls and FT’s, and a season-high eight 3’s from the opponent didn’t allow us to advance. What we did do was have 20 ORB’s, only 11 TO’s, and fought to the very end. I am extremely proud of this group. They made history. Together.

Our Bearcat Family is deeply saddened by the news of losing one of our own. While I didn’t have the pleasure of coaching FoFo, as many affectionately know her, anyone who has worn this jersey is family.
We send our love to her family, loved ones, friends, and teammates. ❤️🖤
Mission accomplished. 🚀
1st top-10 road win since 2005 ✅

Thank you for having me! It was great to meet everyone. Such an impressive group of young men. It is clear they are valued beyond being athletes.
I’m looking forward to watching them work Friday! 💙🐅💪🏽
Let’s take a break to celebrate the guy who chose to take the time get to know me instead of what he read. Then chose me and trusted me to do things my way. I will be forever grateful for you. Enjoy your special day, BG!

When you see progress and understand you can’t speed things up simply because you want to, you count the small wins until they add up to the big ones.
One thing for sure, we will keep competing.
We will keep plugging away, growing, and getting better. ❤️🖤
College Coaches get to have one of the best jobs in the world because 1,000’s of young girls play this amazing sport. Whether you end up being a college baller, fan, Administrator or a coach, thank you for being the reason we get to do what we do!
Yesterday we entered the toughest challenge in the country. We had moments of success and failure. We fell down, we got back up. There were moments we could’ve given up but we chose to fight. No fear in this group and our schedule will continue to prepare us. GTG. 💪🏽🐅💙
I am blessed beyond words to be on this journey with these women. Loyalty, love, and commitment. We are family.

Today is Daddy’s Birthday! I’m incredibly blessed to have him here to talk to, laugh with, and make memories. I am thankful for all the love, lessons, and protection. May Sixty-Deuce be the best year yet! I love you! ❤️
This team with two freshmen point guards, limited experience, and a TON of talent, put it all together to make history.
Our young women...another accomplishment that will forever remind them they can do more than they ever thought they could. 💚💛💪🏽
It takes a VILLAGE! I am incredibly thankful for every single person who believes. Especially, our young women who do their best to show up every day.
This team has left it better than they found it and we still have work to do.

College Players: What you do in the Spring says a lot to your coaches and teammates about your mentality for next season. Take advantage of these workouts.

It was AMAZING playing at home after two weeks on the road. Thank you for coming out to support our women. The atmosphere was electric as always!
We are learning to battle through adversity and playing hard when things don’t go our way…trusting our process.

@jamirahh
for scoring her 1500th point today! What a great player who is a true competitor and fighter. She is as tough as they come and it is a privilege to coach her and watch her grow every day! 💙
5 years of interactions & conversations that encouraged, & challenged.
If I was impacted by Nikki, I can only imagine those who had the privilege to witness her strength daily. Sending prayers of peace to her family, friends, players & colleagues.
You will be missed. ❤️
There are no words to express my gratitude. This is a well-oiled machine and our chemistry trickles down to our team. We complement each other and respect each other’s strengths. We ride for each other. We are the example we expect from our young women. I love you all. 💚💛💪🏽
Fortunate to have these people holding things down while I’m away. I’m so proud of them and excited for Abby and Chal to get on the floor with our young women thanks to the new NCAA rules!

People will have you out here believing that character, personality, and simply being likeable is not a factor in recruiting.
For some of us it is, was, and will continue to be…❤️🖤
Challenges are a part of life no matter how old you are. I am grateful for another year to figure out life just a bit more.
This year I was reminded how amazing my support system is. Thank you for every visit, call, text, video, hug, smile, flower, & gift.
This is 42. ❤️
I found something wrong with every breed. I find the perfect dog & 1 week b4 I was supposed to pick her up she had an accident & needed surgery. “Do I still want her?” Of course. We all have a few scars & I couldn’t love her more. Meet Bailey Kree Merriweather Photos
@CoachAJump
Let’s normalize people celebrating the way they choose to celebrate without judgment.
Loudly or quietly.
With family or publicly.
With a tweet or a text.
Dancing and singing or a massage and a nap.
It’s okay if people don’t do what you do and vice versa.
Last but definitely not least...someone I consider to be one the best do-it-all’s in the business. I am thrilled to have this X and O-ing, recruiting, post developing, Coach join us on this journey. Elated that you decided to call Wright State home!
#THATSWRIGHT
The entire trip was a test and we passed the resiliency portion against a great team. Within 6 with 1 minute to go and things just didn’t swing our way. We’ll keep working, growing, and getting better.
