This is facts for teachers in classrooms and also challenges of what many coaches also deal with on their teams. Kids simply just don’t care, they care about what they want, and fearless 😅
Jamal Crawford & Draymond Green
Preciate everything you taught me quickly, and thank you for the wisdom…
Always a blessing and humbles you when NBA goats believe and tell you, you can really do it.. Sammamish on the come up, back to work 🦁🏀❤️
Sammamish, thank you for giving me the chance to be your head coach. I truly gave you my whole heart this season & I am proud of what we accomplished. Don’t know where the road leads but I’ll continue to follow Gods path for me! ❤️🏀
One day I will be the head coach of a professional team overseas, speaking it into existence. Getting closer and closer to an opportunity, but being patient. Sammamish is home for awhile, but in 5-8 years I see myself out of the USA 🇺🇸💯
Taking the biggest risk of my life by moving to Seattle without my family, was by far the best decision I’ve ever made in my entire life. Words can’t express how I truly feel, I searched for happiness my whole life. I be trippen this is really my lifestyle now 🔥🦁🏀
After a rough start to tournament boys bounced back strong going 2-0 on the day. 4 point win and the first OT game I’ve ever played where team who scores four points win. Proud of our youngsters for accepting the challenge & competing with their best effort!

“I’m so impatient but I still wait. I still show love when I feel hate.” 💯🦁
2 weeks till I go from coach/trainer to player again… Fiba 3x3 tours in Switzerland/France 🇫🇷 🇨🇭🏀
Went 0-4 in made hoops x eha corcuit session one 17u division. Playing w/ majority of underclassmen, it has been a challenge. Kids have learned it is much tougher than 16/15u, & the speed and physicality is real. You can not rely on your coaches or teammates to save you, you
I refuse to spend another one of my sons birthday at team camp or basketball event over celebrating him, I’ll feel like a horrible father after today. Should’ve made it more about him. Basketball is just basketball. I fucked up
San Antonio, Texas should be very proud of Kingston Flemings and Arianna Roberson for representing USA 🇺🇸 in
@FIBA3x3
in Hungary… They putting on for the TONE!!! TEXAS IS JUST DIFFERENT!!!!!! 💯💯💯💯💯💯
Rakin Showki ‘26 17u National Highlights. PG that continues to show he can play with the best of them, makes a living at the basket, and continues to share the wealth with his teammates. Definitely a next level athlete and player that will open eyes in the state of Washington!
Draymond Green & Dejounte Murray speaking valuable information to one of my players who skipped ALL summer workouts for me was a big blessing. These 2 NBA players are truly making a impact in our youth. Really awesome to witness it!

Great list, but, I’d personally add these point guards..
Rakin Showki - 2026 Sammamish
Trey Collier - 2027 Lincoln
Jalen Davis - 2027 Bremerton
These (3) Should be mentioned on this list, they are underclassmen. These point guards going to show out these next few years!
One of the best live period experiences I’ve ever had while coaching AAU

! Talent across all gyms, great matchups, and organized. Proud of our Sammamish Select 16u for going 3-1 in their first event together this year. We are excited for the future! 🏀
Lynden Lions taught me so many valuable life lessons. It was like a blessing in disguise. Learning their culture, witnessing the discipline, seeing the community, it is just special.. different, you don’t just win 3in a row. You can learn a lot from watching… Salute! 📝💯
Packing my sons lunch for school this morning, can’t believe how far we’ve come and grown together. Ezryk Zion is so mature for his age, proud of him for being excited for school. Constantly preaching to him the importance of being educated and appreciating being in Bellevue.
One thing I love about Washington State is that they don’t force you to coach a secondary sport. I Enjoyed playing/coaching football in Texas, but, I am so glad to be done with it. Truly Thankful to be able to focus on being the best bball coach/trainer I can be! Go Sammamish🏀
Happy bday to my forever 🐐 Kobe Bean 🫘 very grateful to be able to have learned from you… U gave a lil Mexican kid from cotulla Texas hope he could make it in this hoop world.. u told me I had to be crazy and deeply in love with this game.. 4ever Your marksman💯🏀

Very proud of our entire program!
We have been working extremely hard this season to get to the dome!
Year 1 HC to state ✅
Job not finished, let’s keep going
Jalen Davis of Bremerton has been lighting it up every single game this summer. Whether it be in AAU or HS summer league, he continues to dominate. Whoever has to see Bremerton this year will have their hands full, that boy is a certified bucket, I trust my own eyes! 💯🏀
Just got invited to (2) Fiba Quests tournaments to qualify for World tours… If wasn’t so far from 🇺🇸 I would so be competing in both. This summer took a chance playing 3x3 again & it’s truly opened so many doors for me as a player/captain. Excited for 2025, I’m going all out!
A lot of HS varsity players are playing 15/16u. If you consider yourself a varsity athlete, you may as well get that 17u bump! I get the shoe circuit events and stacked squads, but, some organizations are wasting their time blowing out casual teams in their age group in by 30+

I have 3 kids of my own and still be helping as many kids as possible with this game of basketball 🏀… when you’ve been doubted, or know the struggle, you going to help others naturally… this often hurts me too, having a big heart got me cooked at times and could only blame me!
56 straight days starting tomorrow where I will be in a gym either, training, coaching, or traveling ✈️ for basketball. 🏀💯 The summer grind really begins, time to really lock in 🔒‼️

Was scared to book flights w/ sun country airline a few weeks ago, but after the experience we had I’d definitely fly with them again. Worked with us on team deal for checking in bags, and had 0 delays or cancellations. Treated us well. Very lucky. Thanks again

Last Q of year will be investing into what I learned the first 3 quarters.. 💶 🧠💪🏽
Had a nail hit our tire on the way home from team camp 😅😭 last thing I wanted to do.. instead of complaining looked at it as an opportunity show my boys how change a tire. Can’t lie this one kicked my ass, they bolted the hell out these lug nuts 🔩 lol 💀💀
Started the day off with orientation for Sammamish 🏀 then went downtown to the market with the family. 🐟 Finishing the night with our First Mariners game tonight against the Astros! A great birthday 🙏🏽Thankful and ready to make this year the best one yet 🎂🪄💯
Proud of my guys for their great effort & team play this weekend in the 17u division at

This hoop game ain’t sweet… I know personally… You gotta really want this 💩🏀‼️ these Swiss/French/Italy athletes can take that tough coaching, yelling in their face, and show ultimate respect. beyond proud of this group! 💯🦁
Where were all these badass head coaching job offers when I was living in Texas & begging for a chance smh…
I tried hard staying in the 210/830.. Crazy how after 1st season up here in WA that now, TX ADs want to call me to come back.. HELL NO!!! My own people man… DO YOU!! 🦁
It is not fun guarding 6’8 players every single game in the post 🤣🤣🤣 into the semis though… 2 pointers more than 1 is the only reason we made the final 4 in this 3x3 fiba event for 2K in neuchatel …. Earning respect 💯🦁🏀
10 weeks of dedicated morning workouts until our basketball season. Investing into our bodies & minds. Kids will be in great shape and healthy. We won’t be involved with fall leagues this year, taking the European approach, will see how this benefits our athletes this year. 🏀
80-77 tough loss last night to Renton
Another crazy battle against Rashad and his tough squad! We move on to district tournament now in hopes to reach that state tournament! Go Sammamish
Malachi Bowman - 2026
Ty Jorgenson - 2026
Lynden HS
Getting some praise for their play in AAU. dual sport athletes (football + basketball) Bowman & Jorgenson will both look to make an impact next HS season. For our sammamish select team they’ve made noise!! 🏀💯
@PrepHoopsWA
Sammamish Select goes 4-0 in the 16u division at the Northwest Premier
@StageCircuit
Players from multiple programs (4) 2028s / (1) 2027 / (2) 2026 came together to get some great experience & bump! Proud of our of team defense, and hustle, We got plenty of buckets too! 🏀‼️🔥
Excited to begin my Head Coaching career at Sammamish High School this fall. I am looking forward to this great opportunity, and getting straight to work with our boys! Let’s Go Red Hawks 🦅🏀
Still haven’t seen a better 3 point shooter in WA than ‘26 Jackson Whittaker from Liberty HS who plays AAU for EBC. This kid is seriously strapped, personally have witnessed 4 games now 8+ 3’s in variety of ways! Salute.
(I DO NOT TRAIN HIM, DO NOT EVEN KNOW HIM, OR MET HIM)
WIAA must be blind amount of transfers this season with no questions asked at all… public schools doing everything by book at a complete disadvantage especially when. having to compete against private schools that recruit. Open up the flood gates, make it fair across the board!
Crazy parent told their kid “you’re losing to a team with no jerseys” and I could not stop laughing… fam that jersey not going to save your kid from getting they @$$ busted and taken out on a island 🏝️ ONLY YOUR GAME CAN SAVE YOU!!
My 6 Seniors all walked the stage today, I am beyond proud of these young men👨🎓

Learned that some NBA players will make certain type of shots for their reps…. This showed me what they consider & do to be an elite shooter in the league. You must be obsessed with this game!
