My high school coach won 378 games and lost only 122 in 21 years as a coach. He was also an OhioHSAA registered basketball official for all of those years.
Since we were a pretty successful high school basketball program we always had teams gunning for us. But the most important thing that I learned from him as well as my parents was to be humble in victory and gracious in defeat and it seems to me that too many athletes have forgotten that simple credo.
