A @KSHSAA bball official personally emailed me a week after a game. He researched a non-call that was somewhat controversial at the end of our game. He explained what the ruling should have been and they wanted to get it right for future games. Blown away by the professionalism.

PSA for youth basketball coaches. First, thank you for coaching, but full court pressing at 3rd grade and below doesn't teach kids anything except how to foul, create chaos, and has them hear everyone screaming and yelling at them and the officials. Teach the game.

Give everyone 6 fouls. I hate seeing kids sit on the bench that should be in the game. This will allow players to play more freely, allows more room for both player and official error, and players spend more time on the floor.

One of my favorite differences in AAU compared to HS hoops is giving kids 6 fouls. Allows for more play time for the players, no one has to play scared to foul, and coaches don't have to switch to zone in fear of someone fouling. Would be a great change.

Today we had our 3rd annual "Dad's Practice and breakfast" where a positive male role model in our student-athletes lives were invited to practice with us. Now we see where some of our guys get their skills!

These highlights are exactly what you get from Parker every game. Great finisher around the rim, shoots a high % from 3, and competes every single possession. Has been huge for us this spring!

Varsity loses to a great Holton team last night and finishes the season at 10-10. A lot of ups and downs through a very tough schedule. Time to refresh, regroup, and focus for the post season where everyone is 0-0. Grateful for this group of guys and community.
