Leatherneck Nation

I'm sure many of you guys remember Men's BBall Coach Derek Thomas. For those that don't, he was our coach from 2003-2008, after Kerwin and before Molinari.

Anyway, he's out in Las Vegas now, and while he didn't have a great deal of success coaching for us, his kids are having quite a bit of success on the court.
His oldest daughter, Bailey, played a year at West Virginia before transferring to be a starter at UNLV: https://unlvrebels.com/sports/womens-ba ... omas/10466
The next daughter, Samantha, is an All-Pac12 guard at Arizona: https://arizonawildcats.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10482
The youngest daughter, Jade, just signed to play with UNLV two days ago: https://unlvrebels.com/news/2019/11/13/ ... ath=wbball
The youngest in the family is their son, Shane, who is a sophomore in HS (and of course, plays basketball too)

Here's a Las Vegas area news story about them: https://www.8newsnow.com/news/local-new ... s-success/

This photo was (obviously) from when Coach Thomas was here at Western:

Man think how good Macomb high school could have been if he was still the WIU bb coach.

Thanks for sharing Scott. Would love to see the 3-on-3 in the park mentioned in the video!
