I loved playing for Coach Fox, and everybody I played with did as well. Youre talking about a guy who had a run of season after season of destroying all the teams around here that would actually play us. I never heard the man cuss a kid out, get in his face, or even raise his voice. He was stern, and expected you to know what you did wrong, and it worked to perfection.
Fielding teams of 40 or 50 8th graders with everybody playing one way tells you all you need to know about how much kids wanted to play for him. By the time those groups got to there sophomore years there numbers usually wasn't even a quarter of what they were in middle school. The coaches he surrounded himself with were very respectable as well. Guy like Davis and Blankenship are awesome guys who taught the game which is what you need at that level. Im not going to comment on the Black statements, but you are correct in saying that group of guys were instrumental in helping that team play well.
Id love to see those guys on the high school sideline.

that is a good description of Coach Fox/he is laid back and easy going.but can have a temper when he needs toSmile. the main thing about him is he teaches you how to play the game and makes it simple.You're not lost when you get on the field. I've seen kids in a lot of highschool games that look lost out of position and not know what to do.
