Instead of looking at the old-school football coaches of the world:
Look to John Wooden, Steve Kerr, Pete Carroll, and so on.
Who are crazy competitive, but at their core try to help people become better human beings.
Coaching is about making your own job obsolete.
Good coaches foster independence. We should be working towards having our athlete be self-sufficient, with our role as simply course-correcting the ship as it goes
Great runs by the Mules and Lady Mules at Charleston. Girls finished 6th out 16 and the boys 9th out of 18. Remi, Ella, Emeri and Grant were all top 40!
@BiasedHouston I donโt want to overreact bc itโs one SL game, but the game just looks easy to him. Outside of the shooting, he just seems to know how to control the game.
Matt Painter has been a college basketball head coach since 2003 (Southern Illinois). His character and integrity have not changed one iota in 24 seasons.
โTheir work led to my opportunity, and you just feel a lot of guilt with that.โ
You will never be able to convince me that there is a coach in all of sports more deserving of a national championship than Coach Painter.
And with the current state of college athletics, what better story is there than a head coach that has done things the right way from day 1 - building his program on honesty, continuity, and (mostly) under-recruited players - winning a title?
Let it be PURDUEโs year.
