So many questions…
1) why do we have 12 y/o’s mic’d up in a grassroots game 🤢
2) since when did we conflate passion & competitive spirit with disrespect for the game & opponent 🧐
3) when did it become cool for MS kids to curse like sailors 🤦🏽♂️
I’ve seen (up close + afar) the growth, maturation & sacrifice that Trevion has committed to…
Always in this young man’s corner cause his heart & spirit is in the right place!
Incredible person & teammate, proud of you

As a former DI athlete, now a DI coach... I’ve learned and seen the tangible power of words/encouragement not only to myself but to other teammates, coaches, players etc...
In short, this is an awful take.

Lost a little brother in Cam Biedscheid today, and it hurts…

You’re an idiot. And what you “consider” isn’t relevant... the term ROI can be used when ANY form of investment is made. therefor the work to help wealthy white businesses/owners secure govt support is returned in the form of a donation to the campaign IS, in fact ROI...

Positively impacting lives through the game 🏀 is 1 thing I never take for granted!
Grateful for the opportunity!
As a former athlete 1 of the toughest lessons I learned is now 1 of the challenging lessons I teach:
Doing everything you’re supposed to *DOES NOT* guarantee that you succeed... it only raises your odds each time!
It is the compounding of such efforts that allow you to succeed

Incredibly difficult to put into words what it’s like to hear about the passing of ANY young person, but especially a young man you’ve spent time/coached/worked with...
Lafayette Dorsey Jr. will be missed & my prayers go out to his family during this time.
I reflect regularly on Gods greatest gift to me, that is putting incredible, genuine & high achieving people in my life!

Overly grateful for my family + friends in/out of the basketball community.
I’m reminded constantly of what’s important and hopefully that reflects in all I do.

Are you willing to do the right things without the guarantee of success?
More importantly, do you have the fortitude to pick back up & CONTINUE doing the right things when you do not succeed the 1st, 2nd or 3rd time...
Commitment to excellence in perpetuity is a MAJOR separator
Dr. Naismith decided to inflate a leather ball 🏀 & hang a peach basket 10ft in the air… Somehow I ended up here, and I’m never taking it for granted
I tell guys all the time how the game will take you incredible places if you respect it, I’m grateful! 🙏🏽
