How many still address their High School Coach as Coach. I am 59 years old and I will never address any of my coaches other than Coach. Been in this business 37 years and he is still one of the men I respect the most.

After 39 years of getting up every morning and doing what I love it’s time to be O-Paw and put up my whistle. Thanks Basketball for all the good times and bad times. To all the guys that I had the honor to coach THANK YOU. To all the guys that worked with me THANKS. Retirement.

My father has been put in hospice I don’t usually put my personal life out here but my dad has touched so many people I felt it appropriate to do this at this time. He is ready to meet his lord and savior and that gives me so much peace in my heart.

I just was a part of something that can only be called Magic and the will to never give in. We were down 15 pts with 2:14 to go in the game and won with three Ft with 0.4 seconds left. We scored 18 pts in 2:14 left and scored 32,pts in the qtr. Unreal win.

Social distancing doesn’t mean you can’t get back to the days when you found a goal and a ball and won the state championship a thousand times. I never lost.

You never know who you will meet on the golf course. Met Austin Reaves today last time I saw him we were at the Barry Pruitt tourney. What a inspiration to all kids and especially kids that play at the smaller schools. He will never forget where he came from.

As a Head Coach for many years there are lessons to be learned and some are harder than others. 1. Be your own man. 2. Do it your way no matter how others think it should go. 3. Give credit to the players and assistants. 4. Get rid of the garbage. 5. Your family loves u no matter

For all the people who appreciate old school. This is Timbo High School Gym. It was built in 1963 and they still play their games in it. It’s a beautiful gym and if only that building could talk.

Had a short practice and had some pizza and cupcakes afterwards. Sometimes you have to just hangout and let them you know you just care about them. It’s not always what they can do for you but what you can do for them. Little things matter.

I just got off the phone with Layton’s mother. The surgeon assured Layton that his injury was not going to be a career ending injury. He will rehab for 2-4 months and be good as new. Sometimes we don’t always understand and we ask why these things happen.

I normally don’t put myself out here but I hope that coaches and players are wearing your mask and following protocol. I have had the virus going on ten days and it has been a emotional rollercoaster I have experienced every system that I know of.

The longer I stay in coaching the more I appreciate the journey as much as the destination. This has been a year that no Coach, Parent or Player will ever forget. This year has not been so much about the wins and losses but the hardships that we have all overcome. I am blessed.

Day 15 of Covid that sucker has put me thru the ringer but my body along with prayer and a loving wife made a play in the fourth. It’s a experience that most never go thru with having it. For the ones that do have to battle just make a play at the end. You will win every time.

I am so proud of this young guy. The critics always said he was to slow he couldn’t jump high enough and overall just was not athletic enough. What they would not admit was he just won at the biggest stage all the time. Good luck TP at your next stop. Keep proving them wrong.

I normally would not share something like this because I consider it personal but I got this short note from a older coach like myself that has been thru a whole lot of worse things in life than I have. This guy is a man of integrity and has the heart of a Lion.
