"Give, Grit, and Gratitude" — Jerod Haase's Blueprint for UNCG's New Era

Jerod Haase is back on the sideline — but he almost wasn't. After two years away from coaching, the new UNCG head coach joins Richmond Weaver for the Ingles SoCon Fast Break Summer Tour to share the core philosophy driving his rebuild: Give, Grit, and Gratitude. Haase explains how three simple words are reshaping UNCG's culture, why he's building the program "his way" this time, and what he learned during two years away from the game. Plus, UNCG guard RJ Greer opens up about the relationship that brought him to Greensboro and the father who shaped his game.
