Let’s go!! So proud of our IronwoodBB 2025 Graduates!! As you step into this next chapter, continue to lead by example - being BETTER and DIFFERENT in everything you do.

On this day, we remember and honor all those heros who selflessly gave so we could have freedom.

In a Hardwood Hustle podcast with Alan Stein, Jr. many years back, I believe they gave the number 2.5 for the average lifespan of a varsity coach... Largely, gone are the days of a coach being in a community for 10+ years.

🚨Play for the name on the front🚨 Congratulations to Wes on his commitment to GCC. Despite only playing 1 year of V 🏀 and 2 years of HS 🏀, Wes worked his way into a college opportunity. He is an amazing young man who cares deeply for others and made our program better.

You didn’t lose the game last night. You lost it 6 months ago when you skipped reps, coasted through sets, and blew off the details. Discipline in the mundane is what builds monsters.

Our boys had a great week against the best teams in the Utah area. We finished the trip up by going to the ice cream capital of the state: Leatherby's. Grateful for everything. Entitled to nothing. Just some kids from Ironwood building lifelong memories. #BeBetterBeDifferent

Most teams that overachieve their talent level DO NOT have players: ▪️Making faces when they get subbed out ▪️Arguing with the officials ▪️Laying on the ground after they turn it over ▪️Moping on the bench They have players that are focused on contributing to WINNING

To all the amazing fathers in our community: Happy Father's Day! These young men are blessed to have you as role models.

“Winning is not a sometimes thing; it’s an all the time thing. You don’t win once in a while... you don’t do things right once in a while… you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.” – Vince Lombardi

Entitlement is showing up but not stepping up, then complaining about the success you don't have from the work you won't do. You're not owed what you want or need, but what you earn.

Two former ACU assistants becoming head coaches in one day! Kyle Hoffman to Bryant & Stratton College (WI)! Barry Wellington to Rust College! We are so thankful for their hard work and pouring into our players. Congrats, we are proud of you both!
