played against and was i feel one of the gentleman in the history of northwest indiana coaching was ron halfling at gary roosevelt that did quite well in fact my senior year they went to the final four and then a few years he had control he had control of that team and and he had great assistance around broom he had some you know a really good many dorsey good assistants who could break a game down i watch these coaches now and as of five of them i can name right now and i won't during the game they're lost they look over at their bench at their assistants who are half their age and they go she go zone stuff fifteen we stop fifty mansion which we go to man now and meanwhile the game is going on on the floor most good coaches i mean the solid ones would stand there you watch my casket arms folded teaching teaching when you see a kid come off the munster floor and i've done games for many years and i've probably done  fifty to seventy five months or games when someone comes off the floor they either talk to coach jacket or one of the assistants they're given a media even struction as to what they did well what they didn't do what they need to work on think about it young man take a seat on the bench and we put you back in that's what i want you to work on and it really and you can hear when you're doing games and now when you're in the media you hear the coaching ok because you're so close to it or you know the guys who get it and the guys that are kind of just they're throwing people in on the floor and i have a story with that are you guy aren't you oh no ok mike davis is head coach at this time and did the you step great seats at purdue i mean they were directly at the first row directly over the opposing bench so you're in the huddle because that mackey you know you have those seats directly behind these are the ones that are the first row up so you're looking down and it's pretty you against are you and davis was the coach and it was a channel two game of the week at that every time out he would just say come on guys you could try harder this or that not one time that he bring out a white board and say here's what they're running here's what we need to run this or that a complete recruiter and a terrible terrible coach but yet he went to the n c a a championship game and that given year was the best coach for that team he took a team that night had him brought coverdale off the bench told dane five to start shooting gave jeffries the ok and they end up and i picked them to go by the way sweet sixteen i want to talk about any wagering we had that year but beating duke was special for me that just goes to show you that sometimes you don't need to know all the  tom crean a terrible axis knows coach went to the final four so is it what he says it's more about the jimmy's in the joes than the x s in the o's or is it a combination i still think you need strategy i still think you need to draw plays jim and i think talked about it last last time we were on the air together coaches today just scream and shout at their players ninety percent of the games i see the coach just yells and scream know you've got open guys on the baseline and like you said you know word press row we can hear this we can hear the profanity we can hear the encouragement but i see too many coaches and this is been about the last five or six years especially the  i guess the off think their future bob knight's yell at the kids and you know ok kids are sensitive today too bad for them but in a situation like that you have to coach and i'm sure the same goes for football you pull a kid off the field and you get beat on this you get in you know your you're off balance you know you gotta teach you yell at the kid and he just sits on the sideline and sulks you haven't accomplished anything and that that's a problem i see today with maybe why they're not teaching to spending too much time screaming you're listening to the j o b it is currently twenty minutes before eight o'clock seven forty on this wednesday february nineteenth high of forty today rain should start as we get late into the day  night or into tomorrow rather possibility of a couple inches of rain everything's going to it's going to be a mess let's just put it that way ms right now it's a mess now take it easy out there are a lot of potholes after all the plowing and everything like that so take your time give yourself some additional time to get where you need to go al hammack forty plus years we talk sports here every week or every other week alec kind of hurts front page today  player tom which it's this is from the time stole the items from fitness club if you had an opportunity to delve into that at all the person working on the story and i haven't read the paper yet today but claims that  receipts ok i hope so because i know jared and i was invited to i was invited to his charity event and i know some people on his board and the only thing that i've ever been told about gerrard is that he's a fine individual to me by reading this this sounds more like it's a business to business sure you know what i'm saying i don't you know again porter carr i'm sure that the officials in puerto county did what they felt they needed to do i'm hoping that this is something that can that is just a misunderstanding because here's a guy who i felt did it right in the n f l came back here and is lead by example and i think that it would be a stain on his name if if what is in the paper is correct i agree one hundred fifty percent i mean he's hired is so big i mean my experience is with him he's involved in charities he owns these health clubs he g personal instruction to you know kids in football he helped cedar lake get your hand over central get football by being there donating being available given the coach's encouragement and hanover central i think next fall will have its first virus city football team you know about forty years the man has done so much i hope this isn't a stain on his reputation i talked to him like about three weeks before th happened in fact that i'd done a column on michael sam and jerry gave his his opinions of the situation but once your picture in a story is in the paper like that it's really hard to come back from especially given your reputation and you can't manufacture on i mean you know there are there were dated stamps or you don't have it's like chris christie you either knew that they were shutting the bridge down or you didn't you know look and you know look in his eyes and  beer business then he opened up in highland on one with some friends when years ago when the flood happened near new orleans and all i know is he loaded up the truck on every generator around this area welded up a truck and went to new orleans and help those people that were flooded and i don't think he has i mean part of his body and i don't think it was there legend and i'm pretty sure you probably have the receipts i'm agreeing with you and i hope that he does i have met jared i'm not i'm not as close as you may have been or other people or al but all indications that i've heard is that this is a stand up guy and when you get into the business it sounds to me like that's more of a business about that when he went down and he was he was there for weeks all i remember i mean i remember even then only then they rented the ne went and bought every generator around and he just loaded up and took off i mean he was helping build houses
