"Just Call Me Coach Q!

This game has taken me around the world! I've experienced some of the most beautiful cultures, played with and against some of the greatest talents the game has to offer, built relationships, and shared real emotions with so many amazing souls at every stop.

God has truly blessed me beyond my craziest dreams and I'm excited about this next chapter! To everyone who has poured into me along the way, words can't express how grateful I am, and just know that I will continue to pay it forward with the same passion and love that was shown to me! I'm thankful for this opportunity! And to my wife, kids, and my entire village, you make me who I am, thank you for the endless love, sacrifice, and support," Acy wrote on his Instagram account.
