I couldn’t be happier for our seniors as they helped lead us to another state championship. Tradition never graduates and this senior class demonstrates that. This team is the 1st team in GDS history to #3peat. I love each and every player like a son! #gdshoopfam @GreensboroDay

Who thinks is it time for NC to adopt a Tournament of Champions? NCISAA & NCHSAA State Champs compete in an 8 team event to see who is the top team in the #hoopstate. Talk about a fun weekend of basketball.
With the state finals over, here is 1 man's ranking of the top 10 high school basketball teams, regardless of class, in North Carolina. #clthsbb #NCHSAAMBB #NCISAA.

I thought the below tweet was quite appropriate for this post! . Happy 40th Anniversary to my wife, Mary Marr! . Her support has allowed me to continue following my passion!
5: You need a supportive spouse. This should be #1 on the list for many!. Coaching can put a strain on your family. Having a spouse who understands and supports your passion is CRITICAL. Make sure to take the time to show your appreciation and give back whenever possible.
