Throughout my years in coaching I have given fully of my time energy and resources to the development of young athletes often at significant personal cost. Like many in this profession I have sacrificed irreplaceable moments with my family and invested financially in ways that extended well beyond my formal responsibilities. These are the quiet burdens coaches carry in service to the game and the young people we mentor. There comes a moment however when one must choose what is sustainable and right for their own life and loved ones. I have reached that point. I can no longer continue to miss the time with my family that I have already forfeited for so many years nor can I sustain the personal financial commitments that have accompanied this work. Prioritizing my family is not a rejection of coaching. It is an affirmation of what matters most. I want to be unequivocal. I do not condone and will never accept the verbal mistreatment or physical aggression of any coach. Such conduct is unacceptable in our community. While I am stepping back from certain roles I will continue to support the recruitment and advancement of the players I have coached just as I always have. That commitment remains unchanged. I am pleased to announce that I have accepted the Director position with the Southeast Stars. This opportunity allows me to remain actively involved in the sport while serving as a more present leader and family member. To everyone who has been part of this journey and offered genuine support I am sincerely grateful. For those who may view this decision differently I hold no ill will. Life continues forward and I am at peace with the choice I have made. As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wisely observed “In the end we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends.” I wish everyone continued success and good fortune.

2nd eycl session. #basketball @Coach13Murray @StarTraining3 @CWBballgirls @ProskillsHTX

A strong guard that plays the game as hard as she can. Talented kid that can fill it up on the offensive end and lock down on the defensive. College coaches give her a looks

Excited for the addition. Been a tough go at this league but these girls are competing. We will continue to work and get better.

Highlights from Session 2 EYBL TOC, New Orleans, La @Coach13Murray @dexsmooth @aiden_pino07 @ProSkillsGBB @girlzprepreport @LadyHighlanders

100% Committed. I’m excited to announce that I will be continuing my academic and athletic career at Xavier University. Thanks to everyone that poured into me....coaches, teammates, trainers, and especially my parents who believed in me. The work doesn’t stop here! #Committed

A dynamic player that can do it all. Can score on all three levels. Can guard on the perimeter and in the post. Plays hard every play. Coaches. Check this kid out. She is a riser!!! Class of 27’

Great kid and and good teammate. Tough and hard nosed defensive player. A typical Cali kid with a never say die mentality. Can score on all three levels. Can defend 1-3. A great addition to any college program.

Talented string kid that knows how to play the game. Never runs from competition and only cares about team success. A great grab for 27 coaches.

Schedule for New Orleans!!! @ProskillsHTX @Coach13Murray @dexsmooth @CWBballgirls
