A young man just sent me a package with a flash drive connected to a basketball. This is the most creative thing I’ve seen. Best believe I will be watching his film! Kudos young man for standing out
I don’t know this young man or the situation but winning 17 of 19 games as an interim, winning coach of the year and leading them to their first outright title should get you the HEAD job. I will always be an advocate for young black coaches.
The Shoe circuit will not guarantee you A scholarship. *Rankings won’t guarantee that you will be a pro. You have to be a really good player. When the lights come on you can’t hide. No one can save you. The work will always be the work.
Let me clear this up.
@NAIA
basketball Is NOT a just a notch above high school 🏀. I’ve coached in the big south, socon, Ovc and CAA. I’ve faced teams that would beat some of the teams in those leagues.
@MidSouthSports
is high level!
It’s levels to this. Kids don’t understand why coaches want them locked 🔒 in always especially in practice. Everyone thinks they can play at this level but it takes more than having a 💼.
For anyone questioning what level you think you are watch the NAIA national championship tonight. Espn3 some of you will be very surprised when you see it.
Since the media thinks NCAA D1 is the only REAL basketball (😡) smh. I’m letting you know that Life University will begin our season Oct 30/31. Come check out some high level hoops!
Stop trolling and Just say D1 Jon. This is incredibly disrespectful to thousands of kids who attend COLLEGE and play this week. We know you don’t care but it’s becoming a bit pompous at this point.
I am excited to announce that on Nov 4th we will be headed back to my Alma Mater
@AustinPeayMBB
to play our programs 1st D1 game since 2013. I want to thank
@RealNateJames
and
@CoachCL_APSU
for making this happen.
So I dropped $152.26 for a one day entry fee to watch a 5th grade AAU game that lasted an hour (last 5 min running clock). This was another $21.80 tournament entry fee. You better believe I yelled at referees today at a high level 😂😂😂

I excited to announce that our team achieved the highest quarter GPA in History for Men’s Basketball at Life University! There is more work to do as we continue to try and mold young men on and off the court.
I’ve been on both sides of this and here is my take. AAU coaches do not care what you (we) want to see. They put time and sometimes their own money into it and have a passion to coach and win games like we do. Don’t belittle this level of basketball.
I am proud to announce that our team finished the summer (10 week) quarter with a record setting 3.53 gpa! We challenged our guys and they answered the bell.
There is an AAU tourney called the National Hoops series in georgia that charges 21.80 per adult......PER DAY? Is this normal. Or just plain robbery? I mean it’s 5th grade basketball. Smh
We are looking for a couple of preferred walk-on candidates for next season. You will have a chance to play in a few reserve games. The candidates will need to have a 3.0 or higher. Drop your film below or send a DM.
It’s hard for young athletes to accept coaching these days. This is a prime example of being coachable. And if you are not coachable one day you will be fireable.
I need ALL ATHLETES to watch these two professionals playing at the highest level of their sport! Look at the eye contact, body language, humility, respect, and willingness to learn as their coach passionately holds them accountable for their mistakes. Be coachable!
Not getting recruited? Are are you interested in seeing what level you are? This is the camp for you. You will have an opportunity to compete against college players.
Kids if you are listening please spend more time working on shooting than dribbling through cones and then a step back. Shooting is valued by everyone.
So honored and humbled to receive this award. I credit my amazing staff and players for their hard work and a terrific week. We still have lots of work to do!
👏👏 and congratulations to

Excited to find out that our 5-0 record is the best start in program history since the 99-00 Season. That team won the national championship. We still have tons of work to do.

Survive and advance. I’m so proud of my guys resiliency winning a “road” game in 3 overtimes against a hostel crowd to send ourselves to the conference championship game!
There is nothing better than walking in the gym and seeing self motivated guys working out at 745 am. There is a reason these two have been highly successful. Work will always be what works.
Believe it or not there are lower level coaches that can coach/scheme circles around d1 guys. Level doesn’t dictate coaching ability. I’ve seen it first hand.
Heard of a high major D1 coach who doesn’t have any interest in using something from a D3 coach because.... the guy is a D3 coach.
We do understand some of the best coaches EVER were former high school / non-D1 coaches, right?
I am so humbled and honored to be selected to be inducted into the Gibson County Sports Hall of Fame. Congrats to the class of 2019 inductees. It’s a pleasure to share this prestigious honor with you. A special thank you to the committee for selecting me.

I want to give a special thank you to my amazing staff. We could not have accomplished what we did this season without your efforts. I never had to question if you guys had 2 feet in. I appreciate you guys for that!
Incredibly proud of my team as we just knocked off

Georgetown College, our second top ten win this week! We are now 4-1 in the Mid-South conf.
@LifeUAthletics
Ive been saying this. The youth need to play less games and work on skill development that will translate to games. Decision making, passing, and shooting with pressure should be a premium. Basketball is not a track meet or a jumping contest anymore.
Turkey defeats USA in the third place game of the U19 World Cup. Led from start to finish and were clearly the better team. Bigger, smarter, more skilled, better organized. Big wakeup call for USA Basketball. Will have to recruit and prepare better. Talent gap has been erased.
Congrats to

I’m very proud of our team tonight. We have faced a ton of adversity this season and were on a 7 game skid. We came together today and won a tough road conference game tonight. Time for road 🍦 scoops!
So proud of my guys tonight knocking off the

team in the country (Campbellsville U) tonight 82-68. Thank you
@lifeuwlax
for showing their support tonight. You guys were amazing!
Class of 2028 Peyton Easley has sharp court vision, makes the correct reads consistently off the dribble, uses his crafty movements to his advantage, creative scorer, hits jumpers on the perimeter, forces steals, plays hard on defense, smart and skilled.
It’s always great to have another favorite/former player stop by the Eagles Nest. Another UNCW legend! So proud of
@Vontae__15
He is going to great things in the NBA!

@Lakers
Tough gutsy win by our team. Arrived back home from playing an exhibition at 4:45 am and played tonight in less than 24 hours. 3 games in 4 days. 1 more on Friday to complete the week.

! 4-0
To say I’m excited to have our team return tomorrow is a massive understatement! This has been a bizarre summer but I’m happy with the team we are putting together.
#LIFEisgood
I have never been more proud of a team win than I am right now. We went on the road very short handed and pulled out a road win at one of the toughest places to play in the Midsouth. Guess we know what time it is…🍨🍨🍨 Road scoops!!

play! 💪
Random thought but I am very impressed with The staff Jerry Stackhouse put together at Vandy. He surrounded himself with talented veterans that bring unique perspectives to the table.
Great win for our guys tonight. We beat a great Southeastern team tonight. They were a sweet 16 team a season ago. We have beaten two tourney teams from a year ago. 3 wins this week in 7 days. 5-0!

I’ve had a lot of friends and family come to our games this year with the expectation of seeing higher level high school ball. They left the game blown away with the level of talent and competition.

We didn’t get results we wanted today but I’m still proud of my team and the run that’s e had this weekend. We fought through so much adversity and I’m proud of my team. 19 wins and 6 of them were against top 25 teams. Not bad for year one. We will be back!
#team1
So proud of this young man.
@nathanpresnell5
the journey it took to get to this point will be one to talk about. It took a village to get this done. Watching you grow into a man over these past 4 years has been special. You are a great father and teammate! Love you kid!
Big time team conference win tonight over the
