In this league you can't factor in a home-court advantage. It's probably pretty equal on both ends.
I'd drive up Madison (Avenue) and I'd see this kid out there shooting baskets every day, so I knew he had the desire to be good, and it's paying off.
The bottom line is that I encouraged him to stay. He told me 'You're ready, it's your time.' I've been appreciative ever since.
He's an outstanding coach and person. Class sums it up in one word.
He has an administrative degree, never used it. He had an opportunity to go to Waukee and utilize his degree and be the head coach.
It's a matter of time before they are competing for conference and state rights.
Bottom line, it was just flat-out effort. They wanted to send a message and they did that.
He is one of the best coaches in the state of Iowa. If I am going to pattern my success after someone, I want it to be him.
I'm a graduate of Hoover, I've been an assistant or head coach the last nine years and I have never seen a Hoover team hold an opponent to two single-digit quarters ? nine points or less ? and still be down at halftime. That just is unheard of.
