Since I quit coaching 10 years ago people always ask me if I miss it. I realize after these last 3 weeks that I miss working so closely with young men & women, but I do not miss the coaching life. I can’t thank our guys enough for the effort they gave in these last 3 weeks.

On a bus heading to Coffeyville for a Region VI 1st round playoff game tomorrow night. Brings back the memory that I was doing this same thing 13 years ago in my first season as a head WBB coach. Hopefully this one goes better than 13 years ago.

Coach trusted me and believed in me when I was just a young college kid that didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life. His mentorship and guidance led me to a career in college athletics that I have loved every step of the way. I only wish he was still here to share it with!
