"How? How? How do you not call that?" Bret Bielema was in disbelief after no flag was thrown for PI on the target to Collin Dixon early in the third quarter. He RAN down the sideline to ask the official about it. (Slo-mo of the play at the end here) Not the first time today

How does Ryan Poles have a job

Coaching is about perspective. You’re not just teaching plays—you’re preparing kids for *life*. - Pressure? That’s a job interview someday. - Discipline? That’s waking up early for your family. - Teamwork? That’s thriving in any career. Wins fade. Life lessons don’t.

The greatest compliment a high school coach can receive isn’t about Xs and Os. It’s when a former player says: Coach, what you taught me about life changed me. Wins and losses fade. But the lessons? Those stick for a lifetime. Build *people* first—players second.

Great players are built in an empty gym. No fans. No applause. No noise. Just sweat, repetition, and hunger. The question isn’t whether you have talent—plenty of folks do. The real question is: Can you show up when no one’s watching? That’s where the game is won

Coaching high school basketball isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s late nights, early mornings, tough conversations, and big decisions. But it’s also unforgettable moments, life-changing lessons, and relationships that last forever. The grind is worth the impact.

If you tagged me, I did my best to try and watch you play today. I did miss a couple of you if you’re in Louisville tomorrow I’ll try and see ya.

Coaches aren’t chasing highlight players, they want the dogs who compete. Who finish. Who refuse to break. You think it’s just about talent? It’s not. It’s about habits. Effort. Mindset. Be the one who sets the tone, not folds under pressure. Compete like your spot depends on it!

Not sure if all Admin and school communities know how hard & long good HS coaches work in the summer for their program and team. Certainly respect the devoted ones 💪🏽💪🏻💪🏼

Thank you to all the teams and coaches that made our 2025 Team Camp our biggest camp yet. Appreciate the referees, workers, and our players for all of their hard work this week. Elite camp coming August 9th.

The things NBA refs allow SGA to do is WILD Offensive foul and travel 🤦🏻‍♂️

Murray has two bad calls already against them.
