Thank you to our 17U players and their parents. It's been a privilege to coach and get to know you over the years. Have had some of these guys in the program for as many as 5 years and will miss working with them all. Best part of sports. The relationships. #getbuckets

Think continuity and chemistry aren't important in AAU? 16U Select is 59-12 in 2 seasons having only turned over 2 roster spots. What's better than the wins? The RELATIONSHIPS. You can't buy them, recruit them, or force them. Special relationships are earned. #getbuckets

This is what @SamVotava does. He stuffs the stat line in a meaningful way that helps his team win games. BUT, ask him if he'd rather score 50 in a loss or 0 in a win. That will tell you what you need to know about this young man. #bornwinner @NorthstarHoops @M_Biggs_ @JaredNHR

No other way to say it. 15U Select is an incredible group of young men. The way they handle themselves in tough, close, seemingly hopeless games/situations is like nothing I've seen. Down 7 with 90 seconds to go. "We got this, coach." They go out and win the game. #getbuckets

@Retiredbbcoach Alternate take: players need to learn how to defend without fouling. Don't change the game. Change how you play it. Also, in my experience, refs call fewer fouls when they are tired or want the game to end. Why would they want to intentionally prolong the game?

@brody4141 of United 16U Select is the real deal. At 6'7 he plays/guards 4 positions. Through 8 games this Spring, he's shooting 74% from 2pt (26/35) and 50% from 3pt (12/24). Incredibly smooth and athletic for his age and size. #getbuckets @PHCircuit @JaredNHR @M_Biggs_

One of the best teammates, fiercest competitors, and hardest workers I've ever coached. Congrats, Cooper! #1000

1,000 career points for Cooper Yaggie. He’s worked his tail off to become one of the best Breckenridge basketball players ever and a phenomenal teammate.
