Oscar I'm so sorry to hear this heartbreaking news, my thoughts and prayers will be with you and Amy!🙏
11 days ago, Donna was diagnosed with cancer. Since then, I have spent every day and night at her Central Baptist Hospital bedside, holding her hand until cancer won out today. Most of you know her as my wife, but she ran business side of TCP with me. Here’s my favorite picture.

Thanks so much Fran, that is very kind! I greatly appreciate it, especially coming from you! @franfraschilla is the at the very top of the best analyst in college basketball!!
Watched the @KentuckyMBB-@GeorgetownHoops & was really impressed with the game analyst. It turns out that it was ex-Wildcat star, @CoachTFord5. He was excellent. Knowledgable & entertaining. @SEC @SECNetwork

This brings so many emotions! Thanks Oscar for sharing! Miss my Dad so much! He loved grassroots basketball and providing opportunities for so many! Brown Badgett, great man from Madisonville, absolutely loved the Cats!
Remembering the great ones this morning. Looking back at the summers of 1980s-90s when late Eddie Ford (R) and his friend, late Brown Badgett (C) played huge roles in promoting HS/AAU basketball. Referee Paul Galvan (L) officiated many summer AAU tournaments.

Great great fella Travis so sorry for your loss. We all know how much he loved you, but he just loved basketball in general loved helping kids, loved supporting and kids in the last few years that I saw him at the Sweet 16 he just loved being a part of the game. 🙏🙏🙏!

@CoachTFord5 Travis, I’ve met and been around lots of coaches, key people in world of basketball, but none were more influential than your dad who ALWAYS had a smile on his face. More importantly, when you sought his advice or ask a favor, he ALWAYS found a way to accommodate you. ❤️🏀❤️

Thank you so much @wildcatnews for your kind words about my Dad! He absolutely thought the world of you & he appreciated your friendship! I've been floored by how many people have reached out & commented on how he influenced & made a difference in their life! Thanks again Oscar!
Heartbreaking to hear that longtime friend Eddie Ford has passed away at age of 81. Eddie was father of former UK basketball star Travis Ford (@CoachTFord5) and played a huge role in helping young athletes attain success. Eddie was a friend to everyone. Prayers to Ford family.

My Dad meant the world to me!! He was ALWAYS there for me! Our relationship was very close and that bond shaped who I am today! He taught my sister and I that God and family are the most important. My Dad absolutely loved the game of basketball. He knew the game inside and out-

Congrats @JGood_0 !! Much deserved and definitely earned!!
The Los Angeles Lakers are converting two-way Jordan Goodwin to a standard NBA contract, making him playoff eligible, sources tell ESPN. Goodwin has emerged as a key reserve for JJ Redick, averaging 6.4 points, 3.9 rebounds and 20.5 minutes while shooting 41% from 3.
