A couple thoughts from my head 2008-08-10 00:56:35 At times, thoughts
go through my head that can be very random, but smart at the same time. Well, now is no different.
With the passing of Bernie Mac, may he rest in peace, it got me wondering, why is it that in death, people talk more about people than when they are alive. I heard [...] Read more:couple
What I’ve Learned This Summer 2008-08-05 18:43:16 In basketball, the summer is when a lot of players get better. They have more time to concentrate on basketball and get in a lot of work in this time. Well, even though I’m not a player, I’ve gotten better. Not as much in the actual playing side, but as far as my experiences and [...] Read more:Summer

Redeem Team vs. Argentina 2008-08-22 15:06:01 Today, I finally got to catch the Redeem Team play, and luckily it was against??Argentina
, which I thought would be a good game. And it was a good game. It looked that when Manu Ginobili went down that the USA would just cruise to a win, and they tried, but Argentina fought back and cut [...]
My College “Dream Team” 2008-08-14 17:45:57 I promised you a college edition of my “Dream
Team” and I’m not going to disappoint you.
This is my list from this past year’s season.
My 1 guard would be Derrick Rose of the University of Memphis Tigers. He plays with a great intensity, delievers the ball well, drives it well, and plays good defense. He [...] Read more:College
Missing People/Things from Home 2008-09-18 13:34:46 So I’ve been gone from home for just under three weeks and I miss a couple of things and people.
I miss my parents first off. I love them with all my heart and it was great this summer walking into the store and joking around with them. This summer I learned so much from them [...] Read more:Missing
My Early Thoughts on Our Team 2008-09-10 00:22:14 Ok, so after watching pickup on Monday and spending time with some of the guys, I like the make-up of this team. Not only did our coaches do a great job of getting good players, but also players with great character. They have all come in ready to be apart of the team and without [...] Read more:Early
Motivation 2008-10-02 12:46:49 Motivation is not something that can be taught. Motivation is something that comes from within. The biggest drive for me with motivation is I want to be known as one of the best coaches, that is why I have no qualms getting up at 5 am for our team’s conditioning, or being present at individual [...]
A funny story 2008-10-02 12:28:48 So, my roommate, Anthony, and I were at Publix getting groceries, when a woman stopped us and asked if we went to Lynn, since I was wearing a Lynn Basketball shirt. Of course we responded yes and she asked how we liked it. We responded we liked it and it was a great school. She [...] Read more:story
A Professor Who Makes You Learn and You Don’t Even Know It 2008-09-26 11:43:11 I was talking with a couple of my friends after a Professor Curtis class and we all came to the same conclusion,he makes you learn without you knowing that you’re learning. He makes his classes fun and applies his lessons to his students. He doesn’t just teach straight from the textbook.
For example, the other day [...]

A D-1’s Coming Here? 2008-10-23 13:00:46 I was taking a look at our schedule the other day and noticed something interesting. We are going to be playing Bethune-Cookman, which is not unusual. What was unusual though, is we are playing them here. The majority of times, Division I teams have Division II teams come to them and have a tune-up game, [...]
Another Quote 2008-10-17 15:30:41 I was reading an article on espn.com about the University of Connecticut Basketball Coaching staff and associate head coach George Blaney said something that is short, but says exactly what a team needs to do. “Play at a Championship Pace.”
While this may seem easy enough from the outside looking in, playing at that pace is harder than [...] Read more:Quote
Time for Me to Step Up 2008-10-14 18:20:32 Today, we had our last individual workout of the preseason. Following this, we had a team meeting, then I had a meeting with our other two managers, Coach Crislip, and Coach McMillin. In the managers meeting, we went over what is expected this year and some ground rules for this season. Coach told the managers [...]
No title 2008-10-10 18:20:38 I came across a quote and I liked it and even took it a little bit further. The final quote came out to be “Live the life you love, not the life others want you to love.”
I feel that one should do what they want with their lives. Since my family owns a business, there [...]

Up until this date, teams have had individual workouts, with a maximum of four players in each session. These past weeks have been such an anticipation for me. I [...] Read more:Almost
Humility 2008-11-12 21:59:01 “Talent is God-given; be humble. Fame is man-given; be thankful. Conceit is self-given; be careful.” – John Wooden
In my opinion, the hardest thing for a college person to figure out is not the knowing right from wrong, or what they want to do with their life, or how to make a budget, or a hard equation in [...] Read more:Humility
Cutting Up Film 2008-11-04 09:51:05 So last Thursday, I did started something that I feel will help me in my pursuit of a coaching career. I started cutting up film.
I wasn’t actually taking scissors and cutting it up, no, I was taking it and copying clips from one VHS to another. I did individual player clips, guards/bigs, conversion sequences, and team [...] Read more:Cutting
