If I wanted a party planner, I could find plenty of those. The fact that she is able to connect with so many of these kids on the court, first in recruiting and then when they get here on the court to be able to work with them ... I watch her in practice and I watch her do individuals and after all of these years, her intensity level and her passion for teaching kids how to play basketball is just as great now as it was the very first day we worked with our kids 30-something years ago. “I haven’t seen one thing that has changed, not one bit and it is no accident that a lot of those kids who are playing well in the pros spent a lot of time down her end of the court.” [/I] [/QUOTE]
