What A Coach Is

I was going to write recaps of the weekends events, the Oregon game, Michigan game, and the Sunday Night game but I had something come to my attention today that is going to put that on hold for the day. Through his son's facebook I learned today that my high school basketball coach passed away last night, so if you'll indulge me I'm going to take the day off from sports and just remember Coach.

I wanted to say a couple things about him. Fond memories and such about a man who I spent the majority of two of the most pivitol years of my life with. For two years I spent 3 hours of my free time every night in a cold gym with him and my high school team. He always pushed us to be better and go that one more step.

I remember how funny he was and to this day I will still always want to go to Dairy Queen and have "a double dip" cone. He taught me how to react to adversity and most importantly he taught me how to be a winner. Thanks coach.
