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.

I agree with you about how they have made their programs better. What impresses me more about these two coaches is what they bring out in their players. I haven't heard or read anywhere that kids from either team are being offered scholarships to schools like Boyle Co. players are, yet they are very good. Corbin, obviously more so than Casey. But they can take a lot of average, to good players and make a very good or great team. To me, that's more impressive than someone who has tons of D-1 talent because you're expected to win with those kind of players.
