Say what you will about Cam Newton. I love his actions in the community. Those actions speak louder than words spoken or clothes worn.

head coach Fred Hoiberg will donate a portion of his salary for the upcoming fiscal year back to the Husker Athletic Department’s general operating fund. The amount will be determined once the athletic budget is finalized.
Father’s Day with grandson Wesley and Mr. NC State Coach Avent. Tough loss yesterday and Elliott still spent quality time with us. Class act. Comeback starts tomorrow at 2 pm Eastern versus Florida. Go Pack.

? Missed it by this much ✌️
4 in sweet 16. As a former coach who watches teams play I am amazed by the analysis of the strength of various leagues by all the experts. I look at teams and rank them by who I would not want to play.
Can’t express how sad I am today for my alma mater. Took Chemistry in Kennedy Building from Dr. Jones and Dr TD Walsh. Prayers for all those killed and injured and their families and friends. Also all those who witnessed this tragedy. Love to all

Anyone remember this spot on the floor from days gone by? Last time we were in Bloomington something special happened.

enjoyed blessed coaching career. Part of 4 high school state champs in 4 seasons.6 straight NAIA nat’l tourneys with 3 final 4’s and I nat’l runner-up in 9 seasons at Pfeiffer. 11 NCAA tourneys at Charlotte and State in 21 seasons. None better than 7 nat’l softball titles! IYKYK

@cody_martin15
and Caleb Martin were as good as I thought they were? Huge win for Nevada today. What do you say
@OHACoachSmith
? Next up is Kyle Washington and Cinci. Can't wait to watch that game and those 3 on Sunday.
Jobey had competitive greatness: was at his best when his best was needed. His freshman year he was struggling at one point and turned down a couple threes. I took him out quickly he asked why. I said if you don’t shoot open 3’s you hurt our team. He said ok. Never happened again

- Jobey Thomas (1999-02) connected on a school-record 346 threes while scoring 1,737 points in his 49ers career. Thomas was a two-time All-Conference USA selection.
This was a special night in memory of my father and mother. Dad would have been truly humbled and honored to join this elite group. Very thankful to the selection committee for his induction.
Former Charlotte “gang green” member Dr. Kent Ellington just completed foot surgery on my wife Janet. Always a blast to meet former students who enjoyed our time at UNC Charlotte. Happens a lot and always means so much.
Judy Rose and Alan Major are both charged with co-assination of a basketball powerhouse built by the one and only Bobby Lutz. Looking like she’s going to go 0-3 with Dirty Sanchez signing a bunch of high school kids in the CUSA transfer Juco league
Coach Keatts and staff with a great game plan. If they keep it close they have a chance. Keep putting Edey in ball screens and let guards make plays/shots. Help and recover defense on a Edey is really good so far this half.
One of my very best friends has been fighting Covid19 for over 10 days and is now off the ventilator. Trust me it becomes very real when someone you love faces this virus. Great message from Coach Hoiberg

Proud of our effort at Maryland tonight. What a pleasure to see former Charlotte players Chris Braswell and Jamar “Deuce” Briscoe as well as Terp Dobo and our former grad assistant Mark Biakowski. So proud of all 3 of these gentlemen.

20 years ago today Charles Hayward went to heaven. What a special young man. I try to think about him often for he still inspires me to be a better person. RIP

2005 Camp Arifjan in Kuwait with Tom Izzo and many others. Life changing event. Nothing quite like a gym full of soldiers at attention while the national anthem is played. Life changing 10 days. Thanks to all our veterans. Celebrate them but more importantly, take care of them.
Wonderful seeing Diego at Rob Roger’s University Chick Fil A today. Excelling in his real estate career with Keller Williams. Ultimate winner and competitor. Using his business degree for life after basketball. So proud!!
So many great college basketball games today. Only negative is all the time spent with officials huddled around the monitor or talking after a review. Kills flow of game.
@tsnmike
Historic basketball cathedral. Played here twice with Clemson. Finished 2nd both times. Gatlin, Branch and Bias (who was best college player I ever coached against).

I am not an Alabama fan but respect and recognize their greatness. I don’t claim to know Jalen Hurts. But as a coach, I LOVE how he has publicly handled the last 11 months as a student-athlete. Only Georgia fans and Alabama haters can dislike him.
So American Airlines was not able to get me to Knoxville yesterday. Had to rent a car from Charlotte. Allowed me to take rental car and see these Lutz ladies I love so much. Dinner at Lineberger’s. Still haven’t found a better steakhouse in all my travels. Thanks Ralph.
Thanks to this special group of players. We have been blessed to watch these guys the past 4 years!! Amazing success by a group of first class young men who have represented NC State extremely well. All the best and thanks for the memories!
#Pack9
Head Coach Elliott Avent brought the entire senior class with him to the postgame press conference...a very special group that has been to an NCAA Regional all 4️⃣ years 🎥🎙
What a pleasure it was to coach all 5 of these guys in my 5 seasons at NC State. Special memories including 2 Sweet 16's. Congrats to all and well done
@jwgiglio
Clutch shooter. Bigger the shot the more likely Diego would make it. Corner 3 over Jamison to send UNC game to OT his freshman year was just the beginning. Fun to coach. Now you can buy or sell your house with him in the Charlotte area!!
#TBT
– Diego Guevara (1997-01) helped the 49ers reach postseason play four times (3 NCAA Tournaments and 1 NIT) while scoring 1,210 points in his career.
Whenever celebrities do acts of kindness like this, some are skeptical. For me, the Jonas brothers did God’s work and gave joy to someone who needed it. Well done good and faithful servants.
PURE HAPPINESS: This 16-year-old girl was disappointed that she had to miss a Jonas Brothers concert because she's undergoing chemotherapy treatment. But then, she got a surprise right in her hospital room ❤️
This is a great stat. Bobby Lutz was the head coach @ Charlotte for 12 seasons. During that time they qualified for 5 NCAA Tournaments and 3 NIT’s. In the 12 seasons since he was fired, Charlotte has qualified for 0 NCAA Tournaments & 1 NIT.
Every Memorial Day, this picture gets me. While some of us are at the beach eating BBQ and burgers...some spend it like this. Her fiancé was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq. Gut check kinda stuff. Monday, please honor our fallen men and women. They’ve earned it...
#MemorialDay
And God did come to Elijah but not in the wind or earthquake or fire but in the sound of a small still voice, a whisper. We all have that voice inside us. Slow down and breathe listen to the whisper
I never get tired watching this highlight tape. Especially like Brendan’s last 3 and the little blonde girl jumping up and down on the bench. She is now expecting our first grandchild.
#family
Humble brag I identified Luke Maye as a freshman and wanted to offer him as a sophomore. Ditto for
@Calebmartin14
and
@codymartin023
Easy to identify top 25 players. Tougher to see those whose best is yet to come. Even better people than players!! Congrats

@charlotteobserv
Never forget you coming into our lockeroom 1988 after OT loss in Pfeiffer Inv tmt, you lifted us up immediately. Always appreciated you taking time for bunch of kids at small school. You never forgot your roots
#motivator
Class personified. Graciously played us a home and home. Served with him on Rules Committee and thoroughly enjoyed spending time with him. Ate many meals together in Indy. His favorite was a local pub advertising “good food and beer”. Skip said “what more could we want?”
