I usually post a "Thought of the Day", but I have recently come across a few thoughts and quotes that I really liked...

"He works great with players," Hewitt said. "I think the way he connects with players is what separates him from everyone else. He knows the game really well, too. He studies it and always does a great job scouting. He's going to get the kids to buy in, and he'll keep them motivated and they'll play really, really hard for him."

- Paul Hewitt, Head Coach at Georgia Tech on newly hired coach at Georgia Southern, Charlton Young.

"It’s the way you handle the kids and it’s morale and that’s a big thing here. When you break morale, kids aren’t going to play for you; they don’t want to play for you. The kids have to like you to a certain extent and have to respect you. But you have to respect them, too, and treat them fairly.”

- Former Marine Corps Lt. and newly hired Shade HS Head Varsity Footbal Coach, Gene Boley

- Pete Newell, the legendary coach and teacher, has often said that basketball is "over-coached and under-taught".

- Wake Forest football coach Jim Grobe: "We're not looking for the best players we can find. We're looking for the best kids we can find."
