The Book of Piv tour stopped in Northwest Wisconsin this weekend. Got to share it with Owen Mathews—future St. Thomas Cadet—and "Uncle" Bill Kostecki, a 98-year-old WWII & Korea vet, cancer survivor, artist, and all-around legend. Two true #PivsPals. Have you picked up your copy

Another stop on The Book of Piv tour: a.co/d/a8H1vsu — this time, lunch with the great Dick Rislove, aka Beardsey. Dick was my unofficial GM at MCTC, a true “Piv’s Pal” and an even better friend.

Even NBA coaches need a little Piv in their playbook. Timberwolves assistant Nate Bubes grabbed The Book of Piv for the offseason. #TheBookOfPiv #LeadershipReads #Timberwolves

I've been carrying a heavy heart since May 20th, when I got the news that one of the original "Pivs' Pals," Troy Amundson, passed away. Troy was truly one of a kind. I was honored to coach him at Northern Montana College, and I even featured him in my recently published book. In

The Book of PIV tour made a power move to the Twin Cities—starring former do-it-all legend Cam Hodges. Cam played for me (smart), transferred to my alma mater MSU Mankato (smarter), and crushed it under Coach Matt Margenthaler (genius). Now he’s an assistant with the Houston
