Me playing my kids up is no one’s fault. They’re tried by fire. But when do we stop travel ball teams from bringing down their absolute best just to make it look like they have good programs cuz the bronze trophies don’t say bronze on them?

What makes it worse is… it was a two point game at the half even with the ringers til they put them all out there. 😂😂😂 this is why I dislike AAU ball. But I use it to get my kids better in the face of adversity. They’re being taught no one is coming to save you!!!

Not only are they not coming to save you… they’re actually coming to cheat you. You can go down 20, the 30 then 40. What will you do to ensure that doesn’t happen. Now they understand they need to get back in the gym NOW AND OFTEN!!! #EachOneTeachOne #CoastlineHoops

Play your gold and platinum team where they belong…. Softies.

No lies told here

Thank you, Lord…

Middle school kids learning about pride and ownership. 17s can help😂😂😂 A little conditioning and mental toughness never hurt anyone. #CoachesCoach #OneOfMyHappyPlaces #BlackMenFrolicking 😂😂😂 check out my frolick. I’m happy. The gym floor counts as amongst the trees or nah?

As a man. Show up every day to fix your life. Do it alone. Do it broke. Do it tired. Do it scared. Just do it.

“Bank employees displayed less warmth and competence toward Black customers, offering inferior service and fewer favorable product options” “Black sole proprietors were approved for loans at less than half the rate of White sole proprietors (25.71% vs. 60%)”

I need y’all to know that starting from scratch is such a weird, tough thing to do. But turning your back to the world and focusing on helping kids become the hoopers they hoped to be and watching them grow in that hope with family as my staff… that’s the blessing.

Really enjoyed our convo with Justin, tap in 👇🏾

This should be a goodie… come out!!!

This goes down as one of the wildest years of coaching, in my life. Fun. But wild. 4-6 players sick for the last 3 weeks. All of my coaches sick, including me last week. WILD!!! Nothing taken from the teams who beat us. That was fair and square. But damn. Then we made history.

Last time this happened was Covid season. I lost 6 out of my 12 in the first week. Made it to the city semis with 6. We WALKED the entire game all season. That was the most fun I had game planning since the chip season at Pali.

Wednesday…. My boys did something that no team has done before them. Doesn’t mean a lot to the world of high school basketball. But it meant something to them. I’m proud to have helped them achieve that. And as long as I’m there… that will be an M.O. of #FirebaughBoysHoops

Keep building… #firebaughboyshoops

This was dope. Principal Reed didn’t have to do this. But we appreciate it. These boys fought a looooot of adversity. Shout out to my coaching staff. The family did family stuff and put in a lot of work. We have a looong way to go. But, we built it once before. ✊🏾🤞🏾

Young fella gettin’ busy!!! ✊🏾🤞🏾

Ayyyyye… my dawg Those Four Letters ended up on The Wallstreet Trapper’s Trappin’ Tuesdays in a clip about the late Junior Bridgeman. That’s a blessings on a few fronts. Dope!!! His story is inspiring. Being one of the top 4 wealthiest athletes on his salary is legendary. #Invest

Top of it. Yesterday was a blessing. My first time coaching a group of college kids. I still love the game like a child—So this was FUN!!! I’m a head coach in the Real Run. The universe be universe’n. Did I mention it was really fun. Thanks DeAnthony Langston Pooh JETer Freeman Sports Entertainment
