Official Recap of Game #2 courtesy of ThomasMoreSaints.com
I have started to write this blog and possibly a book about coaching on more than one occasion, but this time seems like the right moment to really do it. Its starting out to be a book about coaches and coaching. Not the coaches whose names everyone knows, those guys and girls who coach in DI in the big power conferences who have the million dollar contracs and TV and shoes deals. This book is about the other 95% of coaches, those of us on the lower levels of college sports as well as a bit about high school coaching. But it also is about a someone suddenly turning 60 and wondering where all the years went. And its going to be about not only athletics but also education, popular music, road food, friendships and families, and how idiots are finding out about the few too many great places we have left in America.
