Coach Kirck made mistakes in how he handled the game last night, but enough with the character assassination. Coach is a great family man, friend, teacher, & coach who made a mistake which he feels terrible about. get out of your glass houses & move on. #ctgb @GameTimeCT.

Based on the rest of the country canceling all events there is no arguing anymore with CIAC decision. As much as it hurts our athletes to not play, their well being is most important.

Since we will not be playing at home Friday night, it is official, our senior class, after tonight’s win, has won every game they have played on alumni court over the past four years. @ciacsports #ctbb @NDgreenmachine

Football is being played within our state in private leagues, other contact sports inside and outside have been played since July 6. We cannot say “follow the data” only when it aligns to your point of view. Just give the kids a chance. @GovNedLamont #letusplayCT.

Sun comes up the next day. Still proud of my team and looking forward to a great state tournament. We will not allow negativity into our family, adversity will only fuel myself and this team to get better.

This might be the best moment in the gym for me in my life. Congrats Matt C. You deserve it.
On a night @CoachShea1 squad made 11 three-pointers, it was the final one that brought the house down. Four-year team manager Matt Callahan '19 calmly drills 3-ball in front of the @ND_Greenmachine. #stoletheshowonseniornight #cantfakethatcrowdreaction #ctbb #weareND

Amadou Kamara moving on to play for Coach Calhoun at St. Joe’s. Amadou will be a tremendous player at the next level and I wouldn’t be surprised if he is a major part of a national championship some day.

Massachusetts, NJ, Vermont, New Hampshire all have begun or are beginning most winter sports. Hard to imagine that CT won’t follow suit. We can do this for our student-athletes✅ January 19th.

While coaching my sons 5th gd team the opposing coach criticized me 4 not winning a state ship. He bragged about his “2 rings” as an asst d2 last yr. My success is measured by my relationships w my players & the impact Ive had on their lives. Its about the players not the coach.

🤔might want to think about Zach Laput, NDWH 6’4” senior shooting guard. 27ppg, 10 reb, 49% 3pt, 21/21 from the line and he’s only playing 24 mins a game.
Kazell Stewart & Guy Ragland are two of the best unsigned seniors in the CIAC. That & more in the names to know in the CIAC

5 worst rules in HS Basketball.1 No Shot Clock.2 No lane restriction line (allows charges directly under hoop. Reward for terrible def position).3 Coach mandatory sit after T.4 No dunking in warmups (let players show their athleticism to college coaches).5 5 sec closely guarded.

Thank you John. Green Machine best student section in the state 2020.
It was packed, it was loud! What an atmosphere for rivals @NDWHAthletics & @AthleticsHamden in a #ctbb showdown! The @ND_Greenmachine rocked the place as @CoachShea1 and his 5th ranked Green Knights held off the Green Dragons, 77-73, to stay undefeated! @WTNH

CIAC gave us Jan 19 date 2 months ago. Conversations within schools should have happened in preparation for that date. After so much disappointment, CT student-athletes deserve better than excuses about not enough time. DPH, Governor, & CIAC all say safe to play. Figure it out CT.

Thank you @JohnTheTrainer3 does a tremendous job for our athletes and coaches @NDWHAthletics.
There may not be any athletic events going on, but March is still National Athletic Training Month. Why not use some of this time to find a unique way to thank your school's athletic trainer for everything they do to support our athletic programs?.#ThankACTtrainer.

Would be great to brainstorm a better way to start #ctbb. We absolutely do not have enough time before first game and if your FB team is in the finals it’s a disaster! We need a minimum 5-7 more practice dates. Somehow teams from other states have already played 4-8 games.

FYI @Recruits_of_CT Zach Laput @NDWHAthletics is the best shooter in the state of CT as a junior and now he’s above the rim and stronger than any junior in the state at his position. Your list isn’t close to accurate if he’s not on it. D1 kid without a doubt.

Can someone give me a LOGICAL reason why boys basketball in CT started later than other winter sports? Tryouts dates should be Mon-Wed before Thanksgiving. Then 1st practice Saturday after Turkey Day. Sorry if this makes too much sense #ctbb.
