Message: [QUOTE="fleaflicker, post: 5152385, member: 11706"] I was familiar with him, with my son playing 4 years under his coaching guidance. There are a number of things that make a coach special. Society makes winning number 1. Of course, that is most important. But, But there are a number of other things that are equally as important as winning for those who play the game. When an athlete leaves an athletic program, any sport, they should be better prepared to take on the blows that will occur during their lifetime. The old saying, ¨not how many times you get knocked down, how many times you get up¨! Coach P made his athletes better in the game of life. I doubt if that is important in today´s world, but as we see athletes leave a team after 1 year for the portal to make $$$$, anyone who grew up in the days when loyalty to the team, be it college or pro, long for the old days. Coach Mora is a throw back to the days when being a better human being for having played the sport means allot. While money rules, trying make that the most important thing in life when ¨the going gets tough¨. This will make little sense to most on the boneyard, but it sure makes sense to my son and those who played for Coach P. [/QUOTE]
