Personal/Career update:
At the end of September I accepted the associate director, sports performance for men’s & women’s basketball at UC Davis.
Very grateful for my 8 years at Barton and everything we built. Excited for this next chapter. Go Ags!
Before the night ends, wanted to recognize the best in the business, @MattShubert_ for National Strength Coach Day!
Thank you for all you do for our program 💪

UC Davis has UPSET Nevada!
Big win for the Aggies! @ucdavismbb Huge game from Nils Cooper who has had 14 in every game this season. 26pts, 4reb, 4 assists, 3 steals.
UCD also made 11 threes as a team in the game.
Another notable @BigWestSports team, 4-1 w/ 2 nice wins💪
#Buccaneers' Kameron Johnson on his first #NFL catch being a touchdown reception. Johnson led Tampa Bay with 64 receiving yards with Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Emeka Egbuka sidelined due to injury.
Ty Johnson: 19 pts - 4 rebs - 2 asts
UC Davis product — held his own vs high-major talent. Settled into himself in the second half, played with more confidence, and started to calmly knock down shots. Intrigued to see him how finishes the week here in Portsmouth. @iamty_2
Josh Hayes, Associate Head Coach ✍️
Hayes’ elevation comes ahead of his third season on staff in Hackensack! Congrats, @coachh2j 👏

TY Johnson, the nation’s leading scorer (28.2 PPG), with 21 points as UC Davis pulls the upset over Grand Canyon.
Jim Les’ team was 7-15 from 3 while GCU - who some pegged as the top mid-major team in the country - was 4-25 from deep.
UC Davis has UPSET GCU at GCU! That is one of the toughest places to get a win in mid-major ball. Well done @ucdavismbb
Only 2 points from TY Johnson in the second half, but the Aggies are a solid TEAM. Still held on for the road win.
Big resume boost💪
.@ucdavismbb stuns Grand Canyon 75-68 tonight in Arizona. Huge win for the Aggies. It was an impressive team victory. Star guard TY Johnson scored only four points in the second half.
UC Davis (@ucdavismbb) has taken down Grand Canyon on the road 75-68!
TY Johnson does it yet again! Johnson led the team with 21 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, and 4 steals.
The Aggies move to 3-2 with this huge resume boosting road win!
Watch out for the Aggies!
6 weeks of “summer” progress with UC Davis Men’s Basketball. Some of the KPI’s I tracked over the period:
- vertical jump (CMJ)
- reactive strength (RSI) from a 4 jump
- drop-step (approach) vertical jump
