Things are looking good in regards to the hoops stuff. Seems like the bricks are in the right places for the upcoming season, we had a good season this past year, made some good progress as a team and all the kids produced times of great play, both in practice/games. I was real proud of the kids last year, we didn't have a full team when season started last year and ended the year with 12 guys wanting to play. Cool. This season is what, my 7th team in the 14+ years I've been able to coach the hoops. I have written the following many times b4; I am so glad I turned down the contract offer in 09 to continue, wasting my life away coaching the 99% of all the kids that played golf for me, never putting their heart and soul into the game... That's the difference, I know it, seeing the desire to play, the love of the game, the batteling against friend and foe and the real desire to be better. To give 100% to the game. That's the reason why I got into coaching, and maybe if I lived somewhere, or had a job someplace where the kids took it seriously, maybe the golf coaching would be worth it, but I can't imagne doing anything else than what I'm doing right now, funny how things work out. Anyway, bla bla bla I know... Tired, real late here, the little guy is up in maybe 6 hours... Time to sleep, and dream about hoops, watching the kids play well, as a team, win, as a team, and really enjoy it, enjoy the gutt wrenching running and understanding the whole time that, hey man, it's just part of practicing... Got to love em'.... Go Jacks!!
