To have a great basketball team, every player must give up personal glory and accept their role on the team.

College basketball is a constant fight - Fight through screens - Fight with multiple efforts on the glass - Fight to get open and get a catch - Fight to stay in front of a ball-handler - Fight to wall up in the post - Fight to sprint the floor If you can’t fight you can’t play

Coaches can only push players as far as they want to go. It's the mentally tough players that will go the extra distance and become great.

Great shooters aren't born. They're made in the countless hours they spend in the gym perfecting their technique and getting in repetitions.

@SunCityHoops It’s interesting to see kids that have good offers continue to post their highlights on coaches pages and other places to try and get more. In our program, the longer a player waits to commit the more time a coach has to recruit another player.

Offseason workouts aren’t for everyone. But neither is playing time or winning. Great athletes set a standard to be DISCIPLINED! Their subconscious screams “wake up & attack the day”! They listen to their deepest instincts to earn the title of greatness. Not everyone deserves it!

To succeed as an athlete, you need to be all in. If you’re not fully committed to your sport, you'll be outworked by the athletes who are.

Have quiet confidence. Don’t talk about it. Be about it, and let your results do the talking.

Stop making weak excuses! Giving Effort: Your Choice Skipping Workouts: Your Choice Eating Bad: Your Choice Good Grades: Your Choice Arriving on Time: Your Choice Getting Better: Your Choice Making the right choice is always up to you. Don’t use your bad choices as an excuse!

Met up with some of my former players on a recent recruiting trip. Alex Perine (McCook CC), Dwight Goodwin (Northland) & Gary Thomas (McCook CC). Not pictured, Terry Jones (McCook CC.) Great players in their day, even better men today! Love these guys! Proud of you!

Everyone has the ability to work hard on the floor, but not everyone has the heart to do it.

Great teammates: 1. Make extra pass. 2. Dive on loose balls. 3. Take charges. 4. Box out. 5. Communicate on D. 6. Cheer for teammates.

Basketball is not an equal opportunity sport. The better players play. If you want to play more, get better.

Congratulations Northland men's basketball for having a 3.0 TEAM GPA for fall semester. Congrats to Daveon Turner, Milwaukee, WI and Zion Donnell, Nanakuli, HI for earning a 4.0 gpa!

Recruits: Let coaches see full game video. Even just a half. Coaches want to see basketball IQ, hustle/effort plays, on ball and off ball defense, block outs, your best and not so good, etc.

💯Being COACHABLE allows you to LEARN infinitely…⤵️

THANK YOU NORTHLAND BASKETBALL for believing in me and pushing me to be who I am today! For 2 years, you motivated, trained, coached, mentored, taught, and supported me to a point where I had no choice but to achieve greatness! Thanks for reminding me that I’m a special player and person!
