Glory be to God. We are Champions. Headed to the NCAA tournament. This group of young men are so special. I said it all year long to anyone that asked about our program. I’m speechless and truly grateful for this BLESSING. 🤟🏾

I am so blessed to coach college basketball. Being able to impact young mens lives in a positive manner is the ultimate reward. I love allowing them to see the best versions of their current selves while also preparing them to be great future fathers and husbands.🙏
Surreal to hear the news that Urbana University will close. UU will always be near and dear to my heart. My first opportunity to become a head coach and where we started our family. My thoughts and prayers go out to the faculty, staff, and student athletes effected by this
Not the results we wanted but I can’t say enough how proud I am of this group. We stayed disciplined and together. We will forever be champions through your hard work. Thank you for giving us your all. I love each and every one of you.

Honored to be named one of the top 5 coaches in the Horizon League. As with any award obtained by anyone in our program this belongs to US ALL. We are continuing to build such a strong program here at Cleveland State

My son wasn’t ready for the season to end. I’m proud of how he’s become invested in his own development as a player and the development of our team. Can’t wait to show him this picture 10-12 years from now when he’s in high school trying to win a state championship.
Someone yelled “Carlos please take a pic with my son I know you’re in a hurry” didn’t have the time to explain to him I wasn’t Carlos boozer so I just took the picture and kept moving 🤣🤣

Happy 5th year anniversary to the best wife, mother to our children, and friend I could ask for! Looking forward to many years of adventures with this beautiful woman right here. I love you.
It’s hard to stop a team that is as gritty and together as this group is. Headed back to Cleveland with 2 wins and the most conference wins ever. This is a special group of young men that are a pleasure to coach

Recruiting is fun and all but check out this video my wife just sent me of my son diving in the deep end of the pool. Dudes only in kindergarten I was in the 6th grade by the time I worked up the courage to do this

Very excited for
@CoachEMartinWVU
and his opportunity to run his own program. Couldn’t have happened to a more stand up guy. I definitely see success in SC States future under E-Mart
Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 As a coach, it’s so important for players to not only see you as a coach but understand what it’s like to be a strong God Fearing husband/ father. I really enjoyed this past week with all our players, their families, and my family! Looking forward to a great year!
Happy birthday to my first born and my mini me Little Rob. I’ve always said my first son would be named after me and this dude hasn’t disappointed. Very energetic, smart, and goofy like his dad. Love you son
It’s super sweet how my daughter Marina prays for
