Anyone can lead when it is 80 degrees and sunny. Leadership is needed most when it is 20 degrees and a blizzard out. Watching Painter & Bennett handling these loses is pure class. The coaching profession needs more high character coaches like these 2!
Matt Painter stuck around and thoughtfully answered every question after Purdue's loss to Fairleigh Dickinson.
Moderator gave him an out by saying he was taking his last question. He then continued taking questions + answering to make sure media had what it needed.
All class.
2 years ago Jim Harbaugh said take 50% of my salary after year 6. He didn’t care. Just wanted a chance to prove he was the right guy at Michigan. Since then, they are 24-2. 2 wins over OSU. 2 playoff births. Love when people bet on themselves!
It has been an amazing 6 years at West Point! Lucky to have been impacted by so many incredible people. Family and I are super excited for our new adventure. Look forward to getting to work!

How good is Wofford? NCAA career most 3’s made shooter goes 0-12 and they go toe to toe with Kentucky. Terrific season. Give the committee credit for seeding them as a 7.
Does real leadership always have to be the movie stereotype of some loud, charismatic rara leader?
To be a great leader
1. People have to follow you
2. Set high standards
3. People get better because you are around

When you constantly bring energy & passion for others, people want to see you have success. Uzzi Bird has been a huge part of our team's success with his leadership, energy and work ethic. Will never forget our teams reaction to Bird scoring the first points on senior night!
Every job is not a transfer portal job," Some jobs have to be built with high school kids, 2 be able to sustain it over time. When youre building a different team every year, everyone's buy-in is not the same. We wanted to build with high school kids, get older with the same guys
When Amir Abdur-Rahim first arrived at Kennesaw State in 2019, the team’s D2 championship banner wasn’t hanging.
It was in a storage closet.
Now, they have two more banners to hang next to it.

Connor was a special young man. He brought positive energy combined with a bright basketball mind to our program. There are no good words for losing someone so young. Our thoughts and prayers are with Connor’s family.

@Coach_Linton
wedding tonight. Love these guys & miss working with them everyday. Lucky we spent 3 years together! West Point family
Gorgeous day in NY to get some ice cream. Proud of my daughter “Dad, you know I get a cone because it’s better for the environment”. Brooke’s next step is an impossible feat- getting Parker to quit eating ice cream out of a bowl!
This article has it all...
- Underdog who almost didn’t “make it” 4 times
- Player/ coach relationship- willing to be vulnerable talking about their own imposter syndrome
- Making daily choices to reach your potential combined with a relentless work ethic
Fortunate to be able to coach a special group of young men. They care deeply for each other, work hard and have a ton of fun.
@ryanmeis_4
with an elite interview on the power of the brotherhood in the Seton Hill locker room.
No one will work harder than Coach Lind! Donny’s work ethic, intelligence, love for his players and problem solving will help propel the Mount forward in the MAAC. The Mount program is in great hands!

2 Elite coaches- 2 different styles but the core philosophies are almost identical
1 Eliminate losing
2 High level of accountability
3 Culture around competition
4 Focus on players playing fast not over thinking
@mlombardiNFL
Proud of our mental toughness for a road win. It has been 1078 days since our program has won on the road. Down 9-0 to start the game and later by double digits, our guys never blinked.

MBB: The Griffins score 52 second half points in route to an 87-77 PSAC West road win at Edinboro. SHU is now 9-6 overall and 4-5 in the PSAC. Seton Hill has won three in a row.
Great win on senior night! Happy for our seniors. They are a terrific group who has bought in, been team oriented and hard working from day 1. Lucky and proud to be their coach.
Happy for the seniors getting the win on senior night. This group of seniors has been terrific to coach from day 1! Our staff is very fortunate to have inherited such a high a character group of young men.
MBB: Seton Hill rolls to a 72-57 Senior Day win over Gannon. SHU is now 16-11 overall and 11-10 in the PSAC. Close out the regular season on Wednesday night at home against Mercyhurst
Thank you to Luke having me on to talk about our first year at Seton Hill and my transition from assistant coach to head coach. For coaches, Cutting edge coaching podcast is a terrific resource!
MBB: With tonight's 103-81 victory over Edinboro, the Griffins have clinched a spot in this year's PSAC Postseason. SHU is now 15-9 overall and 10-8 in the PSAC. SHU is at Pitt Johnstown on Saturday
Napoleon’s definition of a military genius was, “The man who can do the average thing when all those around him are going crazy.”
This quote applies to coaching/ leadership in so many ways. Ability 2 think rationally in an emotionally charged event is a rare trait but vital one
All you need to know about Matt Painter is seeing Eddy run to him for a bear hug at the end of the game before Painter can get to Barnes for a handshake. Painter is an elite coach and an elite person.
Can we please get more Stan Van Gundy and
@RobbieHummel
announcing NCAA tournament games?! They both have done homework on the teams they are watching and understand the game at such an elite level.
Love this take on Jimmy and so true when it comes to the younger generation of players… Competitive will to win is something a lot of players say they have, but not many will back it up with their actions. It’s a very important piece that separates the good from the great
✅ Incredible Work ethic
✅ Competitor
✅ High Energy
✅ Leader
@LonnieGrayson
never stopped believing in himself & the power of continuous hard work. Amazing to see his growth in the last 4 years!
E+R=O (event + result = outcome)
Often, we do not control the event but we always control our response. Proud of how our program responded TOGETHER and uplifted each other after this turnover. They had the “win the next possession” mentality!
@TimothyKight
Tonight Sean Dillon made a big shot with one second left to push our team to victory against a Top 25 opponent. What’s even more amazing is how our team responded to adversity from the play before. Below is the video of what our program is all about.

“One message that lit up his phone immediately after the loss, though stuck with him. Still reeling from his own disappointing first-round loss to Furman, Virginia coach Tony Bennett texted”
Couldn’t admire the class of Bennett & Painter anymore than I do

In typical West Point fashion, B Thiele wanted to talk more about his teammates and others that supported him than himself. In the journey of life, the people is what makes any journey so special. Proud of you

It was both enjoyable & powerful 4 me to reflect about playing 4 Coach Joe Dunn and Coach Brad Wetzel at Mt Pleasant. Both coaches helped shaped who I am as a person & a coach.
@MarkKatarski
& I have benefited greatly from them & the MP community!
Nichols just made a terrific hire! Excited for the opportunity that lies in front of Brandon. Brandon is a great coach and even better person. Going to miss working with him.
I love when people are willing to compete and go for what they want. There is no coincidence that a young man that was willing to compete to earn a scholarship is someone that has won a championship
Arkansas native & Saint Peter’s sophomore Corey Washington had zero offers out of high school.
He flew up to New Jersey (paid for with his own money) to try out for a scholarship at Saint Peter’s.
Fast forward two years later, and Washington is leading to Saint Peter’s to yet

Denzel Washington helped change the life path of Chadwick Boseman. Chadwick passed on that same mindset of generosity to countless others. We live in a better world because of their generosity.
#RIPChadBoseman
In the late 90s, a group of Howard University students were accepted into a prestigious theatre program at Oxford, but they couldn't afford it.
Their teacher, Phylicia Rashad, turned for help to Denzel Washington, who paid for it.
One of those students was Chadwick Boseman.
Just had a tremendous experience at the DMV! Never thought that was possible. Jeannette DMV (drivers license center) is crushing it

Looking forward to this Saturday! At Army we recruited 2 time PL DPOY
@2_cald
and 7 other players from our evaluations at elite camp. We are planning on the same approach at Seton Hill!
Just a couple days away and we have a few spots remaining! Great opportunity to be evaluated by our staff, meet and interact with our current players , and get better at hoops!

@ChuckWrayFive
for being drafted in the G league first round. Proud of how he fought through a ton of adversity on & off court as a young man. He used that adversity as a spring board to where he is now!
Northwestern football was 1-11 last year. Finish the regular season at 7-5. New coach. Doesn’t run off players INSTEAD the coaches developed and invested in the current players. I love a coach building a program this way!
Edey’s comments are what championship programs are about:
✳️ Creating a safe environment
✳️ Having accountability of self
✳️ Understanding every possession matters equally
Purdue’s point guard, Braden Smith was asked about his turnover late in the game.
His teammate, Zach Edey grabbed the mic and reminded everyone that every possession is important, and everyone was responsible for turnovers throughout the game.
Couldn’t be happier for my man
@jalenruckerr
Rucks such a special person people gravitate to! Self-made player. People questioned his size & athleticism but underestimated his heart, confidence & work ethic. Proud of how far you have grown as a player & person!
Jalen Rucker lands on the All-Patriot League First Team after another brilliant season leading the Black Knights!
The Army point guard ranked second in the conference in points per game (15.8) and seventh in assists per game (3.5) ⚔️

Good concept about charting the areas you constantly struggle with as a team. Chart them. Make sure you are spending enough time practicing what happens the most

Congrats to Coach Sendek. Always great for giving me an opportunity as video coordinator and student manager at NC State. Learned countless lessons on coaching & life. Man of high character & extremely loyal.
MBB: Seton Hill led for a majority of the contest as they defeated Salem University 63-51 in non conference action in WV on Wednesday. SHU will be off until Monday, November 27th when they host Davis & Elkins.
