NCDS: Jerome Tang, Asst. Coach - Baylor ("Quick Check-in")
Just a quick check-in this month with us being on the road.
Five game to go in the regular season. It that time of year when
everyone is talking about the Tournament & the Bubble. As a
staff, there is a fine line between not talking about the Bubble
& making sure that your team understands where they are
at and what needs to be done.
We have continued to improve with every practice & every game.
Our team is gaining an identity and playing with a sense of
urgency. We had neither of those things when the season started.
With only one senior on the roster we have had to learn how to
operate in & win close games. The growth in each player
individually & the team collectively has been very gratifying
as a coach. I'm looking forward to the stretch run of the regular
season. We are humble & hungry. God Bless.
In His Court ... Jerome Tang
