Message: [QUOTE="Twolf, post: 2579931, member: 8437"] Started playing BB in junior high when I was small enough that I could tuck the armholes of my jersey into my trunks. Fortunately grew & played four years in high school, two in the juco ranks, and two years @ a good D-2 School. This is my 40th year of coaching, with all but the first 2, as a head coach at different levels (except junior high) and different genders. I’ve always been grateful that a brother, a sister, and myself were able to get a college education by dribbling, shooting, and defending a round ball- something that wouldn’t have been attainable without that financial benefit. I have learned that coaching is really simple: you try to get a whole bunch of young adults to do a whole lot of things they really don’t want to do, so they can all end up where they want to end up. I’ve also learned it is really hard to have a zoo without animals, if you catch my drift. I feel extremely lucky to have had my paths cross with a myriad of young adults, fellow coaches, AD’s, and believe it or not, officials. I’ve learned something from a multitude of them & have formed many lasting friendships that have lasted the test of time. None of this makes any of my opinions more valid, accurate, or insightful than any other in this forum, but my experiences give me a greater appreciation of just how mind boggling the continual success of the UConn program that G.A., CD, and the staff has built. I hope no one takes it for granted- it won’t last forever. [/QUOTE]
