Had a wonderful weekend of @usabasketball with @ATCTommy @ndorvilien & @shervey4 representing the @NBATA. It was a pleasure working with these gentlemen & the USAB coaches & staff, parents & mostly the players at the National Jr Team Minicamp. We had a great experience.

#ATBHM2026 recognizes a man for all seasons: Keith Jones. Keith was a skilled @NBATA clinician, no doubt about that. His other superpower was being a true friend to all. Keith advocated @EDACNATA principles by looking out for all as a member of the @NATAFoundation Board.
