Bob Knight was truly a legend in every sense of the word. The impact that he had on me and so many others simply can’t be measured. Today we lost one of the greatest coaches in the history of sports. My thoughts are with his family at this time. RIP Coach.
No doubt about who the Coach of the Year was,
@CoachDustyMay
👏
The Resu-May:
-Led FAU to 28 wins (school record)
-18 C-USA wins (school & conference record)
-First Top 25 ranking in school history (high as 19)
-20-game win streak (school record & 3rd longest in C-USA history)
In year 2 of my HC journey I’m so thankful to learn from this guy right here. Success CAN come by doing it the right way. He’s a humble teacher & student of the game that just works hard & he’s shocking the world leading FAU to a Final Four. It can be done!

Racism in America is like dust in the air. It seems invisible — even if you’re choking on it — until you let the sun in. Then you see it’s everywhere. As long as we keep shining that light, we have a chance of cleaning it wherever it lands. -Kareem Abdul Jabbar

Dr. Riordan was both an incredible leader for the MBA in Sport Management program as well as a tremendous ambassador for FAU Athletics. I am extremely thankful for his friendship and will greatly miss our hoops conversations.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Jim Riordan. Dr. Riordan, director of the MBA in Sport Management program, has been with the college since 2000, & his leadership of this program was simply first-rate. (1/4)
A big year for the big man,

When Amir Abdur-Rahim first arrived at Kennesaw State in 2019, the team’s D2 championship banner wasn’t hanging.
It was in a storage closet.
Now, they have two more banners to hang next to it.
On the Owls’ turnaround from 1-28 to the NCAA tournament:
Truly heartbreaking news. Capri was an incredible coach and such a strong and kind person. She left a lasting legacy. Condolences to the entire Grotowski family.
FAU Athletics is deeply saddened and heartbroken to share the loss of Capri Grotowski.
Her impact and love for the FAU family is something that will never be forgotten.
