Some leaders coach the game. Others change it.Coach Tamisha Augustin is doing both.From her early days on co-ed YMCA courts to becoming the fearless head coach of Hampton University Women's Basketball, her story is a blueprint for grit, grace, and generational impact. With over two decades of experience — spanning high school, the G-League, and the NCAA — Coach Augustin has mastered the art of building culture, elevating players, and proving that excellence has no limits.Tamisha's journey began when she picked up a basketball at age five. Her family envisioned cheerleading; she envisioned greatness. By middle school she was running co-ed teams and making believers out of skeptics.That love carried her to Alabama A&M, where she became a four-year starter, captain, and leader on and off the floor. “It made me who I am,” she says — the woman who could fight through anything, on any court.Coach Augustin didn't plan to coach. With a biology degree and a master's in microbiology, she was on the road to dentistry — until a legend, Boo Williams, invited her to coach an AAU team of 14-year-olds.That was the moment.“This is God's order,” she says.From there, she climbed every rung of the basketball ladder — high-school gyms, college sidelines, and even the G-League. Her philosophy? If the door opens, walk through it — and make it better than you found it.Her time at the University of Arizona marked a defining chapter. As an assistant during the Wildcats' historic 2021 National Championship run, she witnessed firsthand how belief and chemistry create miracles.From Aari McDonald's iconic performances to that unforgettable win over UConn, Augustin soaked up lessons that still guide her today: trust the process, build team energy, and lead with heart.In 2022, she accepted the head-coaching role at her home-state HBCU, Hampton University — calling it a “God-ordained assignment.”This wasn't just a career move. It was a homecoming.“Hampton wins,” she declares. “We're here to continue that tradition.”Under her leadership, the Pirates shocked the basketball world with a comeback win over a Power Four program in her first season — rallying from 16 down in the third quarter. Her teams don't fold. They fight.Coach Augustin's vision extends beyond basketball. She's built partnerships like the Mielle Organics x Hampton WBB initiative, connecting players with internships, brand opportunities, and WNBA mentors.“We're not selling dreams,” she says. “We're making them happen.”At Hampton, academics, athletics, and character development all share the same spotlight — because she's not just building players, she's building women who lead.Hampton University isn't just a school — it's a movement.For athletes who want the full HBCU experience and the challenge of top-tier basketball, Coach Augustin's pitch is simple:“Whether you want to be a pro, a lawyer, or a doctor — we're preparing you for life after basketball.”Discipline. Effort. Consistency. Faith. That's the Hampton way.As the Pirates charge into a new era, Coach Tamisha Augustin stands at the center — leading with purpose, passion, and that unmistakable Hampton pride.This isn't just a program; it's a legacy in motion.So drop a

Some stories don't start with a blueprint — they start with grit. With faith. With a suitcase and a dream bigger than the fear that comes with chasing it. This is the journey of Coach Sara Anastasieska, a warrior who traveled halfway across the world, battled injury after injury, earned TWO master's degrees, played at some of the biggest programs in college basketball, and has now found her purpose pouring into the next generation as an assistant coach at Robert Morris University.This episode of Sports Life Talk: You Got Next is your front-row seat to a life defined by resilience, rebirth, and refusing to fold.Born in Macedonia, raised in Australia, Sara's early life was about survival and belonging. She didn't speak English. She didn't know the culture. But she had two things:Curiosity & courage.That curiosity led her to pick up a basketball in sixth grade — by accident — and she never let it go. From boys' teams to national teams, she climbed fast. She wore the Australian jersey proudly at the U17 & U18 international level — a dream that stamped her identity:“If you never stop growing, you never stop going.”Most players never touch ONE Power 5 gym. Sara lived in several. But the path wasn't glamorous — it was a battlefield.Three straight years injured.Two spinal surgeries by age 21.Rehab. Setbacks. Tears. Repeat.But the comeback moment?25 points vs. UConn.On the biggest stage. Against the best.Proof that you can break, heal, and still rise higher than before.Sara always thought she'd be a player forever — until life redirected her. While rehabbing, she hit the books, earned TWO master's degrees, and discovered a gift bigger than scoring:Coaching. Teaching. Mentoring.She became DBO at UC Santa Barbara, earned her stripes off the court, then made the jump to Assistant Coach at RMU — where she is helping build something special.Robert Morris isn't just a program — it's a family. A culture. A mission.Sara breaks it down:✅ Fast pace✅ Depth & versatility✅ International flavor✅ Weekly mental & life check-insThey are building athletes AND humans.And Coach Sara is a heartbeat in that mission.

In this episode of SportsLifeTalk: You Got Next, Head Coach KT and B Jones sit down with Maddie to talk about her journey from small Catholic school gyms to the spotlight of Illinois high school basketball. Her story is one of determination, community, and proving that hard work always finds a way to shine.Maddie's basketball story began the old-fashioned way — on neighborhood courts, playing with friends and being coached by her parents. From the moment she realized she could outplay everyone else on her team, the fire was lit.“I started to realize I could beat everyone, and it gave me a little chip on my shoulder,” she laughs. That early competitive edge would go on to define her style — tough, fearless, and confident.Whether she's draining jumpers, locking down defenders, or controlling the boards, Maddie plays every possession with purpose.“One of my favorite things is getting a big block,” she says. “It's about setting the tone.”Her game mirrors that of UConn's Paige Bueckers, who Maddie admires for her ability to do it all — score, pass, rebound, and lead. It's a comparison that makes perfect sense, because Maddie isn't limited by position or labels. She's simply a basketball player, and a darn good one.At Loyola Academy, earning minutes means competing against elite talent every single day. That challenge is exactly what Maddie loves about it.“To get on the court, you have to prove yourself every day,” she says. “It's what makes Loyola special.”And when it's rivalry week? Maddie locks in even more. She thrives on silencing opposing crowds and embracing the pressure that comes with the big stage. “I love away games,” she says with a grin. “It's the best feeling when the gym goes quiet.”Maddie sharpens her skills with Full Package Athletics, one of the top AAU programs in the Midwest. From the first day she joined, she knew it was home.“The intensity was exactly what I needed,” she recalls. “It pushed me to another level.”Under the guidance of Coach Steve Pratt, Maddie has continued to evolve — adding layers to her game, learning leadership, and mastering the details that separate good players from great ones.Every athlete has a defining moment — that game that changes everything. For Maddie, it came against her school's fiercest rival, Maine South.Early in the game, she sprained her ankle. Most players would've sat out. Maddie? She stayed in, scored 30 points, and led Loyola to victory.“I wasn't coming out,” she says. “I had to be there for my team.”That performance cemented her reputation as one of Illinois' fiercest competitors — and a player who leads with both toughness and heart.As she heads into her junior season, Maddie's focus is crystal clear: win a state championship, earn All-Conference and All-State honors, and continue chasing her dream of playing college basketball.“I'm looking for a program that values team basketball and lets me be versatile,” she says. “I want to keep growing as a player and as a person.”With her work ethic, leadership, and natural instinct for the game, there's no doubt — college coaches are watching.When the sneakers come off, Maddie is all about balance. She loves movie nights, beach days with friends, and exploring downtown Chicago's food scene. Her go-to spot? La Scarola, an Italian restaurant known for its pasta fazool and family atmosphere.“I'm a homebody at heart,” she admits. “I just love good food and being around the people I care about.”Maddie gives major credit to her parents and her AAU coach, Steve Pratt.“My mom and dad do everything — from driving me to practice to cheering me on,” she says. “And Coach Steve? He's pushed me to be my best.”It's that foundation of love and accountability that continues to fuel her growth.

Dunlevie Family Head Football Coach Scott Abell recaps the thrilling double-overtime win over UConn. He breaks down the improvement of QB Chase Jenkins and talks about the defense. He also gives a brief preview of Memphis and shares his favorite Halloween candy choices.Saturday's hero Quinton Jackson (R-Jr., North Crowley HS/Sid Richardson College) breaks down the game-winning play and he is modest about his career-high performance, giving credit to his offensive lineman and teammates. He tells the story of deciding to come to Rice and what he'd like to do after his playing days are over. He and J.P. also talk baseball, Halloween candy, and the surprising team comedian.First-year Offensive Coordinator/Offensive Line Coach Vince Munch discusses his ties with Coach Abell back to their days at Washington & Lee, including their big racquetball matches. He likes the versatility of "Q-Jack" and the way Chase Jenkins is playing at quarterback. Coach Munch also talks about his father's coaching inspiration.---We want you out at a Rice Owls game!
