He was such an inspiration to so many of us. There were so many things that he taught us not only as lax players but as people. He had the ability to bring out the greatest in all of us. How he could run a practice w/ 27 kids but at the same time play individual mind games to make us better players is such a testament to how dynamic and amazing of a man / coach he was. I've had so many coaches in my life but I will only have one COACH. I had the opportunity to speak w/ him just last week and he never sounded happier. He was looking forward to living his life w/ Amber. I guess there comes a time for all of us to go. He went out on top, as happy as ever doing what he loves.
People on the outside have no idea what he means to each and everyone of us. When you hear someone's coach dies, you think how unfortunate. This is different, he was so much more then a coach. We all lost a great great man. He was loved by most but respected by all.
