How long have you been coaching girls basketball, including your time at Plainfield?
This is my 28th year as the head girls basketball coach and my 29th year of coaching girls basketball at Plainfield.
Why do you coach girls basketball?
Basketball has always been a passion of mine. My family has always had a love for the sport. My brother Stan has been the head girls coach at Ben Davis for many years. The rest of my family has been involved with basketball on various levels.
What has been your proudest or most memorable coaching moment?
There have been so many great moments. From seeing individual players make the junior all star and all star teams to being asked to coach the all star team in 2017. Knowing how many players, parents, and coaches that have contributed to our program over the years. I think winning the Regional 1998 still has to be one of the greatest achievements.
What has support from the Red Pride Booster Club meant to your program?
The support of the Booster Club at Plainfield is outstanding. We have never had to want for anything around here. Our administration and booster club has always made sure we have outstanding equipment, uniforms, and awards. They have always treated our basketball program as one of the cornerstones of the school athletic program.
What does success look like for the girls basketball team this season?
We are young and inexperienced, but the girls seem up for the challenge and eager to improve. Getting to start from ground level and build something is a challenge I think they have embraced.
