(BALTIMORE – August 8, 2026) – Baltimore basketball has a way of producing more than players. It produces builders—people who take what they learned on the blacktop and hardwood and turn it into something that outlasts the final buzzer. Keith Goodie is one of them. Ask around Baltimore’s basketball circles, and nobody begins with Goodie’s statistics. They talk about his humility, his knowledge and his willingness to serve. “He cares. He shows up.” That is how I would sum up Coach Goodie after speaking with people who know him. He understands the meaning of give-back. He shows up, assists, and shares what he knows without demanding credit. But Goodie’s service cannot be separated from his résumé. Before he became a college coach and guardian of Baltimore’s basketball history, he was one of the city’s outstanding point guards—a floor general raised in Cherry Hill and shaped by one of Baltimore’s richest recreation traditions. Raised In Cherry Hill (RICH) Keith Goodie grew up in Cherry Hill, a South Baltimore community whose basketball history extended across five recreation centers. When Goodie speaks about his development, he pays homage to all five recs and to the coaches, mentors and neighborhood figures who used sports to teach discipline, responsibility and survival. Those recreation centers provided more than courts. They gave young people places to compete, learn and belong. They also produced players who carried Cherry Hill’s name throughout Baltimore and beyond. Goodie eventually returned to that same community as a youth coach at the Cherry Hill Recreation Center, serving from 1984 through 1997. His give-back did not begin after he became a college coach. It started at home. A Little Guard Who Played Big Choo Smith, a former University of the District of Columbia player and Harlem Globetrotter, remembers Goodie as one of the people who helped open another door for him. “When I think of Keith Goodie, I think about Baltimore’s basketball tradition,” Smith said. “Keith brought me to Cherry Hill to play in the 18-and-under summer league. It was me, Craig Tyson, Go-Go and Travis Turner. We won the site, and from that point forward, I always looked up to him.” Smith remembers Goodie as much more than an older player. He remembers a point guard who commanded the floor. “Keith was that little guard who was a general,” Smith said. “He always set the table, and his passes were amazing. He could see the game and see a play before it got started. It was almost like he was a 5-foot-8 or 5-foot-9 Magic Johnson.” That comparison says something important about Goodie. He did not control games through size. He controlled them through vision, intelligence, timing and leadership. “To me, Goodie is like Muggs, Derwin Lilly and all the great little guards who played bigger than their size,” Smith said. “He knew the history of the game, always respected the game and always honored the game. He knew all the different historical facts about our city.” Smith sees Goodie as part of…

(BALTIMORE – July 26, 2026) – Happy Disability Pride Month and the 36th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)! Pride means naming disability out loud and with dignity. Disability should not be a source of shame or stigma. Naming disability gives a person the language to describe how they move through the world and to ask for the access they need to reach their full potential. Lately, I’ve had a lot of conversations with people about what it means for children to reach their full potential in the context of disability. Stigma around disability runs deep in communities…

(BALTIMORE – July 20, 2026) Background Baltimore is changing. The reduction in violent crime is primarily grassroots-driven and under-recognized. The landscape and narrative around our community is literally like tectonic plates shifting beneath our feet. And the impact is seismic. The story has gone viral and praise is being showered upon several individuals in high places. My biggest problem with that is, the people most responsible for that seismic shift are rarely the ones you hear credited with these accomplishments. In today’s political climate I want to reframe the conversation, not take a victory lap. Our reimagining of public safety…
