Words can’t describe how thankful I am to the administration here at Dakota Wesleyan. To all of my family, friends, coaches and players that have reached out, all I can say is..Wow, thank you! You all are appreciated and loved. Proud to

End of an era for us! So happy for the Brandl’s. We have been through a lot together and so excited for their next move. We will miss Ashley and Jacob!!
#TheyStillBleedBlue
The character on this team is off the charts and unrivaled. So lucky and fortunate to be apart of it. To the community of Mitchell and DWU I say thank you. Thank you for your support and belief in this program. It means so much to all of us involved.

Still one of my favorite pictures. Miss you everyday pops. Even after 10 years I remember this night like it was yesterday. Wish I could hear your voice one more time. Until we meet again. 1-30-12
As coaches we are judged a lot on wins and losses which I understand, but it’s things like this that have the greatest impact on me. This note was left for me by a hotel guest here in Twin Falls, ID. Incredibly proud of our group. Culture Travels.
Truly humbling experience today for our basketball team working with the SD Special Olympics State Basketball program! Grateful to be apart of a great organization!

A pretty cool perk about my job is the relationship that I am able to have with
@Coach_Wilber
and his family. Watching the Wilber clan play a little indoor football after practice is a friendly reminder about how special the DWU family truly is

Winning isn’t easy..athletes and coaches know this. It’s tough. It takes sacrifice, culture, and hard work to win. Guys had a tough week with things that were out of their control...today we attacked the day. Couldn’t be more proud of our group, & the direction we are heading!
Wow. Not a lot of words right now. So happy for our guys a d proud of them. They have completely bought into the team. Not satisfied, we have one more to get!

. I know Dre will excel as an athlete and person in Mitchell.
@Coach_Wilber
got a high character dude that can flat out shoot. Special moment for me w/Dre signing to a place that helped shape me as well
Not everyday is perfect. As an athlete and a coach you are going to have bad days, it happens. What can be perfect though, is your effort and how you respond after a bad day. Our group has responded after a tough day! We have fighters!

The best is when a post tries to go straight up & gets a shoulder in the chest/stomach so his arms come down a little & automatic whistle bc arms came down….like do you want me to punch you in the stomach and see if your arms automatically come down? What do you want him to do
MCC freshman Louie Tucker has signed a letter of intent to play basketball next season with Stetson University, a D1 school in DeLand. Fla.
Tucker was third team all-Region IX, Omaha WH All-Midlands JUCO team and all-NCCAC.
He averaged 14.3 points and 6.6 rebounds per game.
These guys are my why. Tonight’s end of the year BBQ and first annual Returners gift exchange was a success. Going to miss these guys moving on. Good luck to all of our guys during finals week and at their next stops.

As a young coach I have had great mentors along the way. 1 thing that I had to steal from my former boss
@Coach_Wilber
is the ‘Juice Man’. We just had to up the prizes and bring out the belt! Congrats to
@KingDamiene
on being our first Juice Man of the 21-22 year.
#BringTheJuice
Atmosphere and crowd was phenomenal! MCC Nation your presence was felt. Proud of our guys for showing toughness throughout the game. This was a great game for basketball fans!!
The McCook Community College men overcame a 13-point deficit Tuesday in the final six minutes of the game turned back Northeastern Junior College in overtime 80-77.
Athletes! Mistakes are going to happen. You are going to fail, be late, miss an assignment in the classroom or on the court. All of this at some point will happen..it’s ok! How you react and what you do after is what really matters!

Love to see this. Great balance and footwork. Feet are never close or ridiculously over spaced. Shooters take note. Your feet matter in your shot! Such a neglected skill
Patty Mills (
@Patty_Mills
) has a very unique workout for balance , base, and stepping into his shot 🔥 ends his workout with having two defenders fly at him on catch and shoot
Congrats to
@perrydamien26
on a great career here and his post season awards.
Dame finished 2nd All Time in Assists as well as turning the 12 and 13th most assists in a season.
Dame also finished 6th all time in steals and was a Top 20 scorer here at MCC.

DWU men's basketball coach Matt Wilber has returned from his leave of absence and will assume his head coaching responsibilities effective today, per athletic director Jon Hart. Wilber will be coaching this weekend in the NAIA Classic in Sioux Falls.
I’m a huge LeBron fan but I’ve never seen a 6’9” 250lb pound man get “hurt” as much as him....getting hard for me to continually stick up for him
#CMonMan
Congrats again to
@perrydamien26
on his accomplishments this past year. Excited to have this sophomore back for another year at McCook. 4 year coaches need to keep an eye on this super efficient PG!
This is why I love this place and community. It’s a family!! Thankful for Braxton’s BBQ here in town for catering a meal for our guys this weekend.

Today was a tough one...as a coach I need to be better for our group...there is not another team I want to be with though. Tough dudes that want to get better they are my ride or dies. We will be better!

Ezichi’s impact at semester was definitely felt and he totaled the 7th most blocked shots in a season in only 17 games.

and all they have done for me! Every player and person I met my time there!
Conversation with my wife while watching the Packers/Cowboys game…..
Wife: “Doesn’t Sports just suck”
Me: “???”
Wife: “Like they bring people together and then there is just so much sadness and hate afterwards”
Me: “Yes…yes there is”
Truer words have never been spoken.
Tough one. Our guys fight. Just couldn’t get it done when we needed to. Lot of good things to come if we can stay hungry and together. I believe in our group!

@kiem2x1
just went for 17 ppg 9 rbg and 5 apg over this this weekend and guarded the hell out of the other groups best players. Lot of talent in our group.
@JUCOadvocate
Parents….coaches hear everything. Just a friendly reminder when you are at these Spring and Summer events….we hear you. Not necessarily a good thing. Carry on.
Always grateful to get a win as it’s never easy to win College Basketball games. But I’m really proud of this group and how they continue to grow. 23 assists to 8 turnovers is huge in an area we haven’t been great. Need great focus and effort tomorrow!
