Great opportunity for AZ High School coaches to see Coach Bennett & his staff in action, witness the healthy culture in the program, and interact & learn from an elite HC!

Happy 25th to @gilbert12thman & @TigerManager! These characters hit 1/4 of a century today, & still make us all proud! We couldn’t ask for better sons or brothers! The future is bright, & new and exciting things are still to come. No matter what, there won’t be a dull moment!

As always, great hospitality from #8 @ArizonaMTennis & @CoachShieldsUA. as we drove down for ASU vs UofA. Also, thanks to Jay Friend(#3 in the nation) & Oskar Jansson (from Göteborg, Sweden) for the visit after. Still a Devil, but we root for good people! #firstclass #culturewins

Can’t put a price on these days! Their Grandpa Joe would be proud seeing these guys get out of their comfort and out on Big lake with their “Pops”. Life is very good! #familytradition

Can we not have @realStanVG call anymore Clipper games! I am not a Nugget fan, but geez! Pretty obvious he is leaning heavy toward his brother’s team!

Of course you’ve got to have talent, but it takes more to do what @PerryPumaMBB did. Amazing Senior leadership, focus, work ethic, & loyalty from the players! Also, seeing it up close, nobody out worked @CoachDuanePumas, Kevin Hartwig, & Andy Valadez! Great job fellas! #4peat

He was also a part of the coaching staff that secured back-to-back state championships in 2014 and 2015. Thank you, Coach Mac, for your years of dedication to the program, the players and the community. Your leadership and influence will be felt for years to come.

I’ve been fortunate to have many positive male role models in my life, but near the top is former @WestwoodMesa Basketball HC “Buddy” Doolen. A great man & coach who taught so many how to just be a good person! Proud to attend “Buddy” Doolen night! #WarEagle
