“The irony of a snapshot is it captures the moments, but misses the whole journey.” I appreciate every stop thus far & the coaching trees I’ve been able to grow from. Will continue to grow as a leader of men, one who can lead with confidence & poise through whatever adversity.

Nobody teaches you that discipline feels like punishment until the results start feeling like freedom

The NBA Finals MVP didn't go to a prep school, didn’t transfer to another HS, and didn’t transfer in college either. 🏀 🏆

RT @scottybscout: Everyone knows @HFVikingHoops is Darrius Hawkins team but the pieces around him are really growing. John Brown has been…

John Brown is an intriguing 2028 forward. Long, bouncy 6’6 forward with a versatile game. Natural shot blocker who can also match up on perimeter. Flashed some offensive abilities. High upside. @HFVikingHoops #RBShootout

Growth is still growth. Even in the absence of applause. You’re doing great. Keep going.

Dan Hurley shares a blunt reminder about what it takes to be great. "If you can't sit through an hour and 15 minute video session...get out of this industry because this is only for the most competitive people." The film room isn't glamorous. It's tedious, repetitive, and easy to zone out, but that's exactly why it separates. The ones who consistently work even when it's boring are the same ones who execute when it matters. Greatness isn't for the interested - it's for the ones who embrace the boredom of consistency. (🎥@CollegeGameDay)

Great assistant coaches ↓

The vast majority of college athletes really need the education that is attached to the scholarship. Let’s try to never lose sight of that.

Body language never whispers. It SCREAMS!

By this afternoon, I’ll be a dad of 2. Baby boy on the way.

Just Coach the Team 1. When everyone is watching the Ball you are MISSING the Game !! 2. Don’t use numbers and phrases you can’t explain EASILY to the players on how it affects THEM 3. Don’t use numbers or phrases you don’t understand yourself. 4. Breathe confidence into them!

If you always believe your child should have a share of the spotlight, you are unfortunately apart of the problem

Samuel Carter - Homewood Flossmoor 2027 Slick guard with some size. Has got to the cup multiple ways. Off the bounce with nice spin moves and in and out , puts pressure on the defense with how slippery he is.

Dereon Savage - Homewood Flossmoor 6'7 athletic forward has been a monster on the glass, blocked shots and good verticality on rim protection.

Danny Ruffin- HF 2027 The physical guard just hit a big three to tie this game. He's been good getting downhill playing with force at rhe basket. The last play he was wide open and D Hawk found him for the shot
