Visibility & Representation matters. As the ONLY gay male head coach at the highest levels (NBA, G, WNBA, D1 MBB & WBB) will wear my BETRUE shoes w/ Pride. 1 out of 774 jobs! Trust me, I hear from many but they fear being out because of advancement opportunities!

(1/2) 20 yrs ago, I was thought to be the only out gay male head coach in D1 basketball. 20 yrs later, still believed to be the only out gay male head coach in Pro or D1 🏀. Have watched so many gay male coaches leave the profession with doubts of advancement..time for change. 🌈

After hearing Holly mention these teams are playing their 6th game in 15 days... put in perspective that WNBA teams routinely play 6 games in 11 day stretches with commercial airline travel between games. Gives me so much respect for the W players.

A bit of survivor’s guilt..as I have watched gay male coaches come & go out of men’s & women’s bball..I often wonder why, I was afforded some incredible opportunities. Recently shared some of my journey w/ ESPN, anxious to see how it runs tonight & hope it gives hope to a few.🏳️🌈

Truly conflicted feelings as our 2020 WNBA bubble season came to an ending. Devastated w/ our game 5 loss with a team that grew so much and had a true chance at a championship. But absolutely enjoying being home for the first time in over four months with my son & our dogs.

Loved speaking w/over 30 draft prospects this yr. Wbb is filled w/ great people w/amazing stories. But surprised that over 80% of prospects admitted to not following the W or just slightly following. Hopeful that our own rising players follow our league more this Summer.

How hard is it to make a WNBA Roster: just analyze the 2nd & 3rd round picks from the 2015-17 draft classes. Only 7-players out of 72 draft picks begin on opening day rosters. Nearly 20% of the 1st round picks in those classes are also currently out of the league.

There is something truly special about coaching in the Sweet 16 with a mid major team. I was fortunate to experience it twice in my collegiate career. Thought we were going to win it all both times..always fighting for the underdog, the under appreciated, & the disrespeCTed.
