Social Media and Coach B

[twistitup]

Coach B came out strong about social media.....

"If you have a social media nickname or something on your Twitter account that makes me sick, I'm not going to recruit you. I've turned down players based on their Twitter handles. I've turned down players based on Twitter pictures."

Wanna be thugs and gangstas, need not apply! I'm all for it.

Coach B is not alone. I've heard of a few other programs around the country doing the same thing.

I preach that message to my students constantly: how you communicate reflects who you are, whether you intend for it to or not. Certainly people have the freedom to put whatever they want on social media; just don't get your feelings hurt when someone makes a value judgment about you based on it.
