“As a basketball coach your players becomes your family for life—the young men and women that I've had the pleasure of coaching over the years. And to see them successful well after their playing days are over, that's what I am most proud of. Coaching the game of basketball is second nature, but coaching the game of life is much more rewarding in my opinion.  It's never about me; it's always been about the kids, past and present.  Words I stand by are, ‘you should always judge your success on the lives you've impacted, not the amount of wins you put on the board.’”
