As of last week, i am officially the Assistant Womens Basketball Coach at Thatcher High School! Coach Henson called me and asked if I would be willing to help out. He said,"I'm looking for 3 things; 1. i want someone who knows my program. 2. i want someone who has some coaching experience. and 3. i want a female on the staff." I am all 3 of those things! Fantastic! Coach Henson was my basketball coach from 5th grade until my junior year in high school. Under the program he built we went to state every year. We lost in the final game of my freshman year (i was not liked by many seniors who didn't get to play because he moved me up) but every year after that it was Gold Ball or nothing! (the state trophy is a gold ball ;) His last year coaching at the high school was in 2002 (my junior year) because EAC offered him a teaching job in their science department. And even though we took state my senior year, it wasn't the same without him. Now, the high school asked him to come and coach. I am so looking forward to working with him. He is a fantastic coach who taught me so much about sports and life. I know i can learn so much from him about how to coach girls! I will also be working with one of my favorite teachers from high school. Mr. Cramer! how awesome is that!!! Can't wait to see what kind of fun we will have!
