WHY we are teaching our youth step back, fade, spin, double clutch 3s BEFORE we teach making a lay up with both hands jumping off both feet?! Am I getting to old?? Am I missing something? I know the game is changing but LAY UPS will never go out of style. RIGHT?🤷🏾♀️
We are doing our athletes a disservice by not demanding discipline. Discipline is a life lesson that can either drive greatness or destroy your destiny.
9 days have passed since being named the Head Coach of Coppin State University. No words will describe how surreal it feels to be a division 1 Head Coach. One thing I know is when the PRAISES go UP God’s blessings come and I know I am anointed by the BEST.

I have waited my whole life for this moment with this team. My steps have been ordered from the JUMP and I am so grateful for this group. Thank you
@Coppin_WBB
for allowing me me to coach you for my first official game as a D1 HC.
I am overjoyed with the texts, tweets, calls, messages that have come my way. Thank You. The best is yet to come and I am so grateful for this opportunity.
To the first person who truly believed in ME as a player, my coach, my mentor, my inspiration to be greater CONGRATS! 19 years, 500 WINS

Unfortunately our season has come to an end and I am heartbroken for our team. However I am grateful for our staff, administration and everyone who helped us to go from 2 wins last year to 15 this year.
Thankful for this experience. 💙💛

Grateful for a new opportunity to continue pursuing my purpose while leading young women and helping guide them to their full potential.

Grateful for this TEAM, Grateful for my family, and most importantly my staff and administration.
We will be back. That is a promise 🦅
HS Coaches / Trainers / AAU Coaches if we are not reaching our young women jump stops, step throughs, pull ups we are doing them a disservice. The game is not one speed.
My players told me this morning I’m “deep in my bag” and I love it. Still trying to understand the ...in my bag thing. But they said it’s great so I’m here for it!
Lang,
Thank You for coming to Maryland 🐢 I know my life wouldn’t have been the same If you didn’t. Thank you for saving the right block for me and not getting in my way. Thank you for always being there for me for all my dramatics and theatrics. Congrats. I love you.
Instant Gratification is not REAL, it’s superficial, it’s fake. Anything worth having, worth sustaining, takes WORK. If you don’t want to WORK you don’t want to WIN. Shortcuts produce Shortcomings.
Still can’t believe my last three days consisted of a buzzer beater, triple overtime and a championship which we trailed by 5 w/55 seconds.

I truly thank God for this YEAR, this TEAM, this STAFF, this ADMINISTRATION.
The resilience of this group gave me a redefined purpose.
Leading with LOVE was always my ministry, LOVING to lead is my new found purpose.

Just ran into a UK VB player in the airport, when she asked me if I played for
@Towson_VB
after I told her no she responds, “they are SO good they should be ranked.” Day MADE - I forgot to tell her I coached Hoops 🫢

for making history and giving other black female coaches like myself HOPE.
