You know in the past I’ve gave a lot of props to stonebreaker and the job he’s done there. It is amazing. But when you think about it. Him and haddix aren’t so different. When haddix took over we were coming out of the jewel days when we’d win 8 games a year and lose in or after the region and towards the end it was worse than that. We were very stale and DOWN. Both coaches have turned the programs around into winners again. Now Casey’s is more amazing to me because they didn’t have the history or the tradition and support like we did. But they aren’t so different. I love haddix, obviously. But not just because he knows how to win. Because he pushes kids and makes them work harder than they ever have. And 99% of the kids love him. He don’t play politics. That’s a main reason Corbin has so many kids and has 22 starters with rotations instead of 11 or so. Now your reason may be justified in not liking him. But I will day aside from coaching he’s a great man.

Agree 110%. I doubt Haddix has ever done or said anything personal to smoke or any Casey folk. He is a classy and very motivated young man. He wants and expects his kids best effort and don’t coach for politics and money. He coaches for the love of the game and to help the kids. There are some people out there that people jus don’t like tho for other reasons. That’s ok too. I respect that. When you are up and coming and on top of your game, not everyone will want to see that.
