Head Men’s Basketball Coach at Texas College
Tyler, TX
Joined March 2012
My suggestion to remedy bad AAU basketball in Texas: UIL should allow HS coaches to coach their kids all summer in HS leagues to PREPARE for TWO TABC Showcase events during the live periods. AAU will be left for the young kids. You’re welcome. This is THE BEST event in TEXAS!

AAU Dudes…How do you justify ranking a darn 4th grader as top 5 in the country in the class of 2031. Please stop this ridiculous practice. Smh

Recruits: please remember this In 15 years no one, will remember your commitment post Most won’t even remember where you went to school The number of points you scored will be an afterthought Only what you become will matter Your decision isn’t defined by likes and retweets!

I have said this time and time again. There is REAL talent at the D2 and NAIA levels. Some of these kids have been really fooled by that misconception.
"I think that there's a misconception out there that if you don't play at a Division 1 level, you may not be quite as talented as some kids that do. And that's certainly not the case." Bill Self on D2 ---> Creighton transfer Ryan Hawkins

Players always screaming D1 what does D1 guarantee you that D2 or D3 NAIA don’t ?? I know some D2s that’s 10 points better than a lot of D1s so don’t get caught up thinking a level can get you to a certain place!!!

Coach, you are becoming a PREACHER! 💯 LOL
THIS IS WORTH A LISTEN. 👂🏽 "While assessing his team following an 88-80 loss to Notre Dame, Purdue head coach Matt Painter shares some advice to high school players looking to compete in college. You have to get over yourself."💯
