thoughts:


good session today. was a teaching practice.

put in a slob, and blob.

worke don icing and blitzing

built on existing stuff

likely building foundation for new set drilled

drilled toughness through rebounding and cross screening drills

scripted 5x5

fitness is a focus

dialing in on the little things.

Anthony Allen

I did not want to post this information earlier because it had not gone public. It now has.

Anthony Allen, Hoyas Class of 90, passed away suddenly last night. Anthony was a very good defensive basketball player for the Hoyas as a shot blocking reserve F/C. Anthony was an even better human. He had many talents beyond basketball. He was a singer, a musician, a tech wiz, and an amazing cook, especially with a BBQ. Probably made the best macaroni and cheese I had ever eaten. He was a devoted Christian and pastor. He was one of the kindest and most generous people you could know. A true gentle giant, who was always positive and uplifting.

He served GU not only as a student athlete but as a long term GUPS Officer. I hope the University will honor his service the way he deserves.

I was privileged to call Anthony a good friend for over 35 years. The world today needs more, not less, Anthony Allens. He will be missed not only by me but by many others, especially his wife and four children. We lost a great man last night.

Not sure Cooley could have done much more. We were right there in the thick of it with everybody else, but I don’t think it’s us. I think Xavier LSU and Michigan are the top 3 just my opinion.

Sometimes these kids in the DMV just want to get away and go to schools in other areas. can knock them for that. Just got to maintain good relationships with these kids and AAU programs just in case they want to transfer in this transfer portal era. Would have been an idea for him to come in as a freshman and learn behind Epps and Mack before he started playing major mins as a sophomore. But some kids don’t see it like that. Some want to be playing major mins as a freshman and on top of that who knows what kind of NIL deals these kids are getting at other schools.
