Love going to the beach. Never heard a crab or pelican say one bad word about any of my friends.  "Coach, I don't care what everyone else says, I still like you."  Wow.... NOW I'm feeling good! Lol Heard a good story the other day about a school superintendent.... That Superintendent was getting phone calls/complaints,  EVERY DAY about his head football coach.  That Superintendent chose to support his coach, but he did not tell his coach about the calls.  He could have gone to see his coach... ."I get complaints on you constantly!"  But, he chose not to do that.  AFTER the coach had built a championship program... THEN he told the coach about those phone calls. But, during that time, he kept those calls to himself. The reasoning, he didn't want the coach to worry about the complaints and he didn't want the coach to lose focus on what he was trying to accomplish in building that football program.  Today.... that football program is elite. That was ...

November 1993, New Cath @ Paris I learned much from working for Roger Gruneisen at Paris HS. There were only two things that got you kicked off the team... lying and stealing. But, it's never good to leave money, especially a large sum, laying out on the top shelf of your locker. Someone in need, really can be anyone, sees an opportunity to do the wrong thing, it can be tough to pass it up. Intra district play in the first two rounds of the playoffs is that opportunity to do the wrong thing for a KHSAA Board of Control member. Without a doubt, at a minimum, it creates a signficant conflict of interest.  As much as I try to do the right thing, it would be tough for me to pass on the opportunity to set up my team.  Coach William Harris (Mercer) & Coach Andy Frye (Centre College HFC) Looking back on my Paris days (1992 thru 1995)... really would have been tough not to take advantage of that scenario if I was on the Board of Control. Our Paris Greyhound teams were very good. B...

 I love Bluto's speech at the end of Animal House when he mocks his fraternity brothers for being scared.  Over the years, in several situations, I've had friends, well-meaning, caution me about what I say and who I say it to. I appreciate them looking out for me.  And, there have been times their wisdom was needed.  But,  I always hate to see how we can fear influential people. Or, we can fear speaking out for what is right.  In those times, I always imagine telling General Dwight Eisenhower before he launched the D-Day invasion, what we are "scared" of. I think he would get a chuckle. Or, telling Dr. Martin Luther King in the heart of the civil rights struggle, what we are scared to say.  Would he smile?  Roll his eyes? Or, maybe think..."Good grief... I wish that was all I was facing." The Bible says that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. (Proverbs 9:10) Sometimes, we don't fear Him enough. I might make the argument.... maybe we...
