PARENTS AND PLAYERS LIKE THE PROSPECTS OF THE NEW BASKETBALL PROGRAM

Enthusiasm abounds for the new basketball coach, his intensity, his style of play and all the other things associated with his program. It has been described as "professional", "intense", "strong on defense", "full of positive criticism" and "enthusiastic". Spirits are high.

It's going to be a team approach, as well it should be. Everyone will dress in shirt, tie and slacks and look like a team of athletes and scholars. All the players will ride the bus together, going to and coming from games, no exceptons. They will make their grades in order to play. If they are suspended they won't play. Boys are out that haven't been in several years, and along with the other players, they are optimistic. Players have regained their enthusiasm for the game. That's all good. Parents have told me that in their meeting with the coach, they didn't disagree with anything he said. They overwhelmingly approved of his program as he presented it and as the players responded to it.

That's all very good news.
