[J. R. VanHoose]

Don't think we wouldn't love to have you! But I understand and love your decision to stay! I wish most coaches were like that. It seems that they are wanting to go somewhere for a couple of years and make a name for themselves and move on to something better. What happened to loyalty and thinking of the players and community? That is what I respected most about BMR. They said when he took over the program, it wasn't very tradition rich. But look what he did! I like the Wireman's and Newsome's of JC SC. They loved the community that revolved around their programs.
What I am trying to say is, I know you have several different places probably wanting you as their next coach, most would say jump at the chance, but I say do what you want and believe in YOUR program and by watching you in the tourney, I can tell your players love playing for you.
Keep up the good work!!:notworthy

Well, I do appreciate that. I must say that I have learned that if the players who you coach know that you love them and care for them, they will play harder for you and reciprocate that love. I always try to remember that I am coaching kids. Some may have alot and other may have nothing, but I try to treat them all the same. If they need a place to stay, they are welcome in my home (my wife and I have actually become pretty good at Rock Band because of this), if they need money or food we try to help as well. My wife and I have no children right now, but all of the girls on our team are like our daughters and are treated as such. Sometimes it is hard to deal with them, but it is like a big family, we may have disagreements or arguments, but at the end of the day they all know how I feel about them!
