I did it.
I achieved what I'd always wanted in my young adult hood, and I did that job for seven years. It was a good seven years in many ways, but there were enough bad things that I decided to hang it up.
Will I ever be a head coach again? Maybe...maybe not.
Would I be interested? Sure.
Am I looking? No.
There are a couple of things that bother me: 1. I never won a sectional as a head coach, but that doesn't bother me as much as the second issue. 2. My daughter remembers a little me being in charge, but my son doesn't. He's heard the stories, but I am "just" the assistant to him.
With that said, I have been an assistant at Silver Creek HS going on the third season.
After sitting out a season, I wanted to coach again, I knew I had something to give, so I contacted the Head Coach, Brandon Hoffman and he allowed me to join his staff.
I cannot say enough how wonderful he has been allowing me to coach again and allowing my family to be involved with what we do here, especially my son.
It's a big deal to be a head basketball coach in Indiana.
It's a big deal to be an assistant basketball coach in Indiana.
It's a bigger deal to be good role models and parents and Coach Hoffman is and allows me to be both.
