Ignorance is not bliss.
Lying to parents about how their children are doing academically is definitely the easier path, but it is always the wrong path.

Across the country, there is a massive disconnect between student performance and parents’ perceptions.
Who does that benefit?

Adversity and Growth. Thank you to the fans for staying with us this season.

Yo, I said this to my staff when we played at Holy Cross. Born and raised in Joliet!! 😂😂😂

One trend I’m seeing pop up this time of year in NIL land: collectives including academic and behavioral requirements in NIL contracts.

Grad students blowing off second semester classes: say bye to your last few payments.

Failed drug test or breaking team conduct code: 👋🏼 💵 😢

Cam has always played with an unwavering passion. Chest bumps then… Chest bumps tonight in the Natty!! Proud of the Kid!!

Big Coach Thompson held his players and everyone that touched his program to THE standard necessary to be successful in life! Parents back then sought it because they knew the long term positive effect it would have on their young men.

Got some side eyes over the years, but great for coordination, confidence building and seeing growth by pushing out of comfort zone. Guys locked in. 💯

Cam Spencer is one of the toughest, most competitive dudes I’ve ever recruited/coached. Although we were his only D1 offer, I told him back then the higher levels missed out. Awesome to see the success he’s having!! But tonight, rolling with the Alma mater! GO CATS!!

'Greatness is not in talent.
Greatness is having the talent and relentlessly competing every possession- never giving anyone the chance to make you look average.' -Jay Wright

Greatness isn't found in talent alone.
Refuse to let anyone label you 'average.'

Late night workout has me excited for the Northwestern Basketball NCAA tournament game tomorrow and grateful for the relationships, lessons and memories those four years provided!!

Highly recommend for coaches, student-athletes and their families. Listening to a former President speak directly to our space is big time!! Bracket talk was cool, but so much important content we all need to hear!! Thank you Barack Obama Craig Robinson John Calipari & NABC

Been awesome to witness Coach Danielle O'Banion and her Loyola Women's Basketball squad continue to grow this season! They are connected, resilient and fun to watch!! Looking forward to the game tonight. Bring home the hardware!! #GoHounds

So grateful for Tim’s tremendous support and constant positivity! He represented everything great about the Loyola experience and no one rooted harder for basketball success. Tim will be greatly missed. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Was great to get out to DC today with the Fam to see Josh Okogie and the Phoenix Suns get the W! JO continues to be an incredible example of what a focused and driven ball player can accomplish!!

Strong Truths Well Lived!!! #LoyolaGREAT

Proud Dad!

Enjoyed seeing the 410 shirts today on campus and had several students come up to me expressing how much fun they had at the game last night. Tough one for us, but huge thank you to all the Loyola University MD Loyola Greyhounds students, staff and alums for packing Reitz!! #LoyolaGREAT

It would be a lie if I said I don’t struggle with this every now and then as a Father. But, I do try to catch myself in those moments at games. I’m not their coach nor the supervisor of officials. The crowd did not come to hear me. I am their Dad. Show love and support!
