Loved coaching this team! These guys committed to pursuing their full potential from the beginning to the sudden end and I’m proud of them. That’s a tribute to our seniors

I admire and am thankful for the D1 programs who are still playing small college basketball programs in exhibitions and not doing closed scrimmages.

2014 Mr. Basketball the biggest personal title in the program, was willing to come off the bench his jr yr. Never complained, always ready to spark his team like 20 points in 19 mins in a historic regional final!
What are you willing to do for a chance?
10 years of being around supportive and talented people. The players and coaches here the last decade have been truly remarkable and credit goes to them!
Congrats to Ferris State head coach Andy Bronkema on being one of 50 head coaches selected to the NCAA D2 and NAIA Impactful Men’s Basketball Head Coaches list -

‼️Two types of players‼️
1Player who wakes up and the day and plans are built around basketball
2Player who might not wake up and they try to fit basketball into the day if it works.
1. Bring out the greatness in others
2. Develop character before talent
3. Build for the long run
4. Be obsessed with basics
5. Belief system > Offensive system
6. Create better human beings who will change the world
Commitment is a character quality not an emotion, a result of choice not conditions and it lasts when it’s based on values. people > things! Nobody who ever gave their best regretted it. Burn the ships, there are no half hearted champions.
Blessed and honored to receive my 4th Niece. I would like to thank Emily, Steve and the entire family for this opportunity.

Alumni game is always a big day for me! Blessed to be carrying the title of Coach for the Bulldogs. So many came before and will come after. So many good feelings, stories and memories! And yeah they can still play, barely escaped with the WIN.
Calling all basketball programs! Help Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy beat the disease in honor of Mitchell Peterson a member of our team. I will shave the beard at Sat.

National Championship Celebration, but it is bigger now! Donate Here:
You become complacent when team members start to believe that their prior successes are going to ensure that they will have success in the future. The character you possess during a drought will be remembered in the harvest so be consistently you, no matter the win-loss record.
Christmas break is a time for basketball teams to come together
- accountability isnt blame
- take confidence from your work
- learn dont repeat
- know how your role fits the mission
- push past fatigue
- adapt&overcome
- everyones role=great teammate
- hope fuels fight
Lots of film time has left me feeling overwhelmingly thankful for all the incredible players I’ve been able to coach! Too many to tag! So many stories to remember and share.
These are happy days for a coach!

sr year he played 3 less mpg, took 3 less spg, scored 2 less ppg, shot 8% higher from the field (12% higher from 3) and sold out as the best on ball defender he could be.
