It was inspiring to share stories and memories with family and friends who attended and celebrated the impactful life of Rob.
It was my honor to speak. Attached are the life lessons I learned from my best friend.
God bless Rob James, may his legacy live strong.
He scored his 1,000 point on Thursday.
He had a career high 34 points & 15 rebounds on Saturday in a Conference road win.
He is carrying our dirty jerseys to the bus.
We have 15 other guys who would do the same.
The Culture of our program continues to grow.
I am elated for the incredible opportunity to join
@williamjewell
& lead the
@WJC_mbb
program.
Melynda, Ellyanna & I can’t wait to meet all of the great Cardinals around the world...past, present & future!
Rob was always by my side, in many of the most important moments in my life - personally and professionally. I am better in every aspect of life because of him. His legacy lives and is strong. Rob made memories and he created so many for others.
I'll miss my best friend.
A terrific feeling.
The best part was celebrating with the men who have put in all the work to make it possible.
A moment I won’t forget.

Proud of this group & what they’ve accomplished.
Biggest game of our season is Friday…it’s our next one.

Everyone has a Coach Holley story.
His legacy lives in his family & former players who revere him bc of the quality of his character & his commitment to their lives.
He was our biggest fan after his retirement.
Coach is William Jewell
We will continue to honor you, Coach.
All ❤️, fellas.
THANK YOU for everything you've done for our program, school & community.
Sorry we don’t get to keep playing.
Your legacy is transformational.

I will forever be indebted to Jewell Team 120.
We have made progress on and off the court because of the commitment & love shared by our players & staff.
We are proud of the progress, but not satisfied.
Thanks for everything...
An overtime W against the nations 12th ranked team!
Our players deserve it. The focus and work they put in everyday was rewarded.
Suffice to say...It was a happy locker room.
#DefendTheNest
The electricity in the Mabee Center by our home fans was incredible! The place was rocking all night.
Our players showed up and performed so well on the big stage.
I’m excited we get to play meaningful March basketball.
GLVC quarterfinals…here we come!
THANK YOU!
A story I wish never had to be written, but the power of the story is immense.

It’s silly that “Mothers Day” is a single day. My mother, my wife and my mother in law are there for us 24/7/365. There truly is nothing like, “A Mother’s Love”.
Tonight was a wonderful opportunity for the community of
