All ❤️ Coach @DeCoacher

Got to see my Bean do her thing today. #ECNLSoccer

To my guys, Today is bigger than basketball. You walked across that stage as graduates, and nothing will ever top the pride I feel for each of you. Over the years, we celebrated championships, cut down nets, and built a program together. Four regular season championships. Two conference tournament championships. Countless memories that will stay with us forever. But the greatest accomplishment was never the trophies. It was the commitment you showed every single day to becoming better students, teammates, leaders, and people. The banners will hang in the gym, but your degrees will open doors for the rest of your lives. That is the real legacy. Five degrees. Five lives forever changed. Thank you for the sacrifices, the early mornings, the tough practices, the trust, the resilience, and the love you poured into this program. You gave everything to your teammates and represented our school with pride and class. I hope you always remember that what made this group special was not just the winning, it was the bond, the culture, and the way you carried yourselves through every challenge and every success together. No matter where life takes you next, you will always be family. Congratulations, graduates. I could not be more proud to have coached you. Love always,
Coach P

Tradition continues! Beautiful memories established. Giving back is a beautiful thing. Proud of you boys @MCScotsMBB

A little Bar-B-Q with my everything! My Bean.

Bryce staff hanging out at the Portal House last night!!! 1 month in with lots of work to do! @TTU_Basketball

Congrats to Agent Morgan.

20 years of friendship and 7 seasons coaching together… hard to see @TTUCoachP leave Maryville College, but couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead!! Proud of everything he accomplished and grateful to have been a part of it!

Congrats to my friend @TTUCoachP. From bus rides, Turkey Toms, covid championships, and talking life, we’ve been through it. Looking forward to watching you on the next step in the journey.

You are one of the BEST leaders I know! Your impact goes well beyond all of your wins! Tech is lucky to have you!! Keep being GREAT!! I am proud to call you a friend. 👊🏼

When @TTUCoachP called me on Sunday to tell me the news, I wasn’t shocked, and anyone who knows “P” wouldn’t be either. The first person to ever believe in me (or just crazy enough) to pay me some money six years ago, and make his team a video. What was a flier he took on me back then, turned in to one of the the most loyal and caring people in my life. Happy as hell for you huncho, love you man!

Have truly valued my time working with you Coach P, thank you for everything you’ve done to make MC Hoops and the whole department better. Thank you for your friendship and all the laughs … rooting for you always my friend!

Maryville College has been blessed to have him and Tennessee Tech will also be blessed to have him. They will see he is a better man than he is a coach and he's great at coaching. #Truth

Thank you to everyone who has been part of my journey at Maryville. Will always Rep The M. But now it is time for 🪽 UP!!

I’m excited for @TTUCoachP & immensely grateful for all he’s done for our @MCScotsMBB program. He’s an amazing coach, dedicated alumnus, & a great friend. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for him – thanks for all you’ve done, Coach! #RepTheM #GoScots #MaryvilleCollege

Thank you, Coach Placeres! After 15 seasons with Maryville College, Coach Raul Placeres is stepping down to take a position with a DI program.

Raul Placeres to Tennessee Tech as an assistant is possibly the best of any hire nationwide so far. His ability to relate to every single recruit and family is unmatched in this region.

Tennessee Tech has no idea the splash they just made. @coachplaceres is big time. Has won at every stop at an extremely high level. Will crush it in Cookeville.

So proud of my girl!! 34 ACT Straight A student Part time job! My Bean… Appreciate my guys paying her a visit!

Had a great time talking Ball Screens on the @GlazierClinics coaches clinic this morning! Always fun spreading the game and connecting with other coaches. Thank you for the opportunity 🙏@GlazierClinics
