Longtime Pasadena boys basketball coach Tony Brooks told me this morning he is resigning to enjoy retirement.

He wrote a statement for Bulldogs fans and supporters.

“My connection to Pasadena High School basketball began when I was eight years old at "Bulldog Camp".  Being a Bulldog meant so much more than just playing basketball.  It meant developing a brotherhood among the players, it meant understanding the importance of being a true "student athlete", and it meant striving for a goal that required a collective effort amongst the team and sacrificing your own glory for the benefit of the team. " King D" 

This philosophy has led to over 266 wins in 12 years, 11 Pacific League Championships, Two CIF Division 1 Runner up, Two CIF State Regional Finals and over 15 Division 1 and Division II Scholarships.

As a ballboy and a player, I learned the importance of hard work and dedicating yourself to perfecting your skills.  As an assistant coach and ultimately a head coach, I made sure that each player understood that there were great lessons  that had to happen for success to follow. No sacrifice, no success. 
Each player understood to be great sons, great students and great ballplayers.

My coaching has given me so much fulfillment and value in my life.  The friendships and relationships have added so much to my family. 

I absolutely love my players.
But at this point it is time to look to the next phase of my life.  I am thankful for all of the parents that helped support the program by supporting their sons as well as all of the team members. I am thankful for all of the coaches that worked so hard and dedicated so much time for the players.  I am  thankful for my beautiful wife, Sherrie who was the best "coaches wife" any coach could wish for.  I would like to thank George Terzian, the coach that started it all, I would like to thank Bill Duwe for his guidance and mentorship, and I would like to thank Tim Tucker for his brotherly support. It has been an honor to be a part of the legacy of Pasadena Basketball.

With this letter, I am announcing my retirement from Head coach at Pasadena boys basketball.

God, Family, Dogs!!

Been on both sides of it. 100% accurate.

Heard a coach say this is the difference between being an assistant coach and a head coach:

After a loss the assistant goes home and sleeps. The head coach goes home and assumes the fetal position, cries a little and replays everything 100x before going to sleep.

So true 😂💀
