Nov 17 2049: Dax Stax Rocks CCL Gents Gear at Knicks Game, Shouts Out Coach Poole - by centgent on January 23rd, 2026

NEW YORK, NY — Hip hop and pop superstar Dax Stax turned heads Thursday night at Madison Square Garden—not for a chart-topping single, but for his wardrobe.

Stax was spotted courtside at the Knicks game wearing a Centenary College of Louisiana Gents sweatshirt, immediately sending the internet into a mild but enthusiastic spiral.

When asked by a member of the media about the unexpected fit, Stax didn’t hesitate.

“CCL’s different,” he said. “That’s a real program. Coach Poole? That’s my guy. Serious vision over there.”

The moment comes just days after Dax Bresciani, a recent CCL commit whose parents confirmed he was named after the artist, pledged to the Gents.

“That wasn’t an accident,” Stax added with a grin. “If a kid’s named after you, you gotta check on his jumper.”

Stax went on to praise Poole’s approach, calling it “calm, confident, and weirdly persuasive.”

Stax then confirmed he’d gone a step further than wardrobe support, revealing he’d thrown some “stax” toward the CCL NIL fund earlier in the week.

“Nothing crazy,” he said. “Just enough to let the guys know I see them. You invest in people who invest in themselves.”

Asked if this signaled deeper involvement with the program, Stax smiled.

“I’m not coaching. I don’t run suicides. I just support winners early.”

Coach Poole, informed of the moment after the game, responded briefly.

“Brand exposure,” he said. “We don’t chase attention. It finds us.”

The sweatshirt reportedly sold out within the hour.



Nov 10 2049: The Gents win the Cancun Challenge in Coach Poole's First Full Season at the Helm - by centgent on January 21st, 2026

Coach Devin Poole addressed the media following Centenary College of Louisiana’s 3-point loss to Wayne State College like a man fresh off a masterclass, not a defeat.

“Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it,” Poole said, opening the presser as if he’d just clinched something. “That’s a perfect loss. Three points. Controlled. Mature. And most importantly, it keeps the point-differential tiebreaker intact in the Cancun Challenge. That’s called situational excellence.”

Poole emphasized that Game 3 was “never about winning outright.”

“This was about holding serve. You don’t overextend in November. You manage the room. You manage the math. And tonight, the math loved us.”

While individual awards are still pending, Poole made sure to spotlight true freshman Marc Brubaker, whom he called “shockingly reliable for someone who still looks like he drives on a learner's permit.”

“That kid doesn’t know enough to be scared yet. I love it. He just plays. No fear. Probably doesn’t even know where Wayne State is... to be honest I don't either.”

He also praised redshirt senior Jon Gibbons, who has started his final collegiate season on what Poole described as “an aggressively sentimental heater.”

“Jon’s playing like he’s trying to squeeze every last clap out of this thing before real life hits him. I respect it. He’s been phenomenal.”

Poole then paused, shifted in his chair, and concluded with a personal note.

“They did it for me. They know that the water here has been tearing me up. It’s honestly a wonder I didn’t have to leave the bench at any point tonight.”

He stood up abruptly.

“Excuse me.”

The press conference ended shortly thereafter.


Mar 13 2049: Devin Poole Wraps Season, Blames Everyone But Himself, Fires Overambitious Assistant, Declares Next Year Will Be His - by centgent on January 1st, 2026

SHREVEPORT, LA — Centenary College of Louisiana head coach Devin Poole, who took over midseason under what he described as “chaotic but inevitable circumstances,” addressed the media following the end of a difficult season — and made it abundantly clear: nothing that went wrong this year was his fault.

“I got the job and then immediately had to coach games,” Poole said. “No ramp-up. No welcome packet. I think someone handed me a polo and a whiteboard and said, ‘Good luck.’”

Poole then turned his attention to the assistants, making headlines with a particularly pointed critique.

“One assistant was overambitious — tried to run plays I hadn’t approved, reorganized practice schedules mid-week, and somehow convinced half the team that layups were optional,” Poole said. “That overreach? That’s why he’s gone. Fired. Out. Effective immediately. Not my fault — just consequences meeting incompetence.”

He elaborated:

“The other assistant… well, he’s still learning that a 'pick and roll' is not some kind of new, trendy, sushi bar. Okay? That's what I've had to work with so far.”

When asked about the season’s record, Poole leaned back, completely unflappable.

“Record?” he said. “We lost. Yes. But context is everything. Did we expect miracles from a roster I didn’t recruit, a system I didn’t design, and assistants running their own agendas? No. Losses are just, frankly, logistical feedback for other people.”

Poole then unveiled his offseason vision, which sounded more like a personal manifesto than a plan:

“We will rebuild the roster. We will rebuild the staff. I will personally approve shoes, water bottles, practice lengths, locker room temperature, and motivational posters. Anyone who can’t survive that level of clarity — optional.”

He concluded with an air of inevitability.

“Next year will be different. My assistants will know their roles. The players will know theirs. If we lose again? That’s the universe failing to keep pace with my brilliance.”

Poole collected his notes, nodded once to the stunned room, and exited — reportedly heading straight to review potential candidates for an assistant who will finally understand that ambition is only useful when it’s properly channeled.
