First time coaching with a shot clock, after 25 years of coaching w/out, and thinking I’m old school; I think it should be a welcomed change to NJ HS girls hoops. 🤷🏼♂️

Does anyone else get excited breaking out the Sharpie and writing out the season year and your school name on a brand new mark V scorebook?! Year 26...doesn't get old. Excited to start the scrimmage season.

Words cannot accurately explain how proud I am of this group. We fought and clawed our way back into our MCT semis, cutting it to 6 before finally falling. This team has arrived. A lot of season to left to play.

Yesterday we came up short but this group 🫶 111 days since tryouts (30% of a year) & the emptiness of not seeing them is the hardest part. Their indominable will, togetherness & selflessness define them as the best this program has ever seen! They all

The final post of 23-24. This group went wire to wire in the NJ state rankings this season. No small feat for a PUBLIC school in a state with a rich girls basketball tradition. We will continue to build, to get better, this group's story is not done yet!

Character is defined by responding to adversity, leadership, commitment. Less than 24hrs after our MCT final loss, we are back, coaching the next generation of Cougars. Our success lies in this circle, teach them to play for those who came before them.

Amazing 1st day of tryouts. 36 girls trying out for V/JV working hard and competing. Regardless of the outcome, all of them should be proud of their effort and enthusiasm. 23 years and I left the gym tonight as proud as any win or championship we’ve won.

In the fall of 2002, a then 32 yo, entering his 6th year as a head coach, emailed Kansas head coach Roy Williams asking if I could come out and observe his program. Coach Williams and his staff welcomed me with open arms. I flew out to Lawrence, lived in an on campus house (1/5)
