What Do You 'Say' About Your Program?

The following notes were taken from an article in the San DiegoTribune about a couple of San Diego area coaches approaching milestones.  I took out some notes on some of the things that I want my program to be about.  You can read the article in its entirety here.

-  “It’s insane how this has worked out,” Cassaw said. “We’ve had some huge years (winning 29 games in 2005-06 and 2010-11, 30 in 2011-12 and 28 in 2013-14), but you don’t win 400 games and CIF championships without good players, good assistants, a strong administration and having the support of your family.

-  “I love coaching, so I consider myself very lucky to do what I do.”

-  “I’ve been blessed with hardworking kids who put in the time to succeed,” Olive said. “The players take a lot of pride in being part of the program.

-  “There is a sense of family in the program and that family extends out. I love that our former players come home and help with our tournament.

 -  “I love the fact, our players call and email to check on us.-  “The program here is on solid ground.”

-  Olive, 61, who played at Villanova and in the NBA for the San Diego Clippers, said he had no idea he was approaching 400 wins.-  “I guarantee he’s telling the truth,” said Torrey Pines senior center Jake Gilliam. “The man has no ego.-  “He just loves coaching basketball.-  “But now that we know he’s so close to 400, we’ll have to think of something special when he gets it.”
