Our career as a basketball coach began in Colorado and ended in Alberta. This book is the story of our 38 years as a coach. Every year we coached we learned something new. Sometime it was dealing with the X's & O's. Often it was something about relationships. The book follows our career and we have included some of the charts and plays we found to be useful throughout our journey. All in all it has been a good run and the times were interesting. Our wish is that you will be able to use these ramblings to better understand that the sport of basketball is much more than X's and O's. Have a great career!
