If you’re complaining about the Timberwolves celebrating their play-in win then you don’t understand what pouring your all into a mission is all about. Their passion for the mission is what won them that game. We should be applauding that so our younger generation values winning!.

Awesome EYBL S3 in Louisville. A major shoutout to all our directors and coaches. There’s so much time, effort, planning and organizing that goes into pulling off these trips that goes largely unnoticed. Thank them, they deserve it! Safe travels to all & have a great MDW!.

Not sure if I could scream it loud enough… @coachkovner is the most humble superstar in the business. He just put together and executed the best pre live period event the northeast has seen in years. @madehoops is lucky to have him and our teams and players get all the benefit.

Simeon Vs Gill St Bernards is what’s right in HS basketball. Rob Smith and Mergin Sina coach their kids hard and do it the right way. A lot more highly ranked players then Denver Anglin, but I’ll pick him for my team EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK. Great player, better kid!.

Reflecting on this weekends @madehoops High School Academy. What a great collection of players, coaches, speakers, and overall staff. I’m reinforced in my belief that this generation of kids DOES want to be coached! It’s on us as adults to put qualified TEACHERS in front of them.

Hats off to @ExpressionsBall and @TTOBasketball. One of the best 8th grade games I’ve ever witnessed. High level players, coaching, and competition. A shame someone had to walk away from that game with an L because it was a win for everyone in attendance.

Mr. Konchalski’s kindness, handshake, MEMORY, & wisdom will be sorely missed in basketball gyms. Has always supported our youth, our game, and done it with an unmatched sense of purpose and diligence.
In his latest HSBI report, HS basketball scout, Tom Konchalski, has decided to retire. Based in the NYC area, Tom has been a humble giant on the scouting scene for over four decades. As nice a person as you would ever meet. He has been a role model for me and better yet,a friend.

Cardinal Hates has played a beautiful game. Crisp passes, cuts, ripping the zone defense apart. Ian Jackson gets the attention & it’s deserved as he’s one of the Bronx’s best in awhile but Elijah Moore is on the rise & Tairique Foster is a Sr who needs more attention!.

I would retweet this 100 times if I could.
Having been involved in youth sports as a player, coach, and parent - I recognize how well intended, but severely misguided, many parents are. Their behavior is taking the fun out of the game and we are seeing kids drop out of sports at an alarming rate. Please read ❤️🏀
