Q: Some folks believe that demanding coaches such as yourself are becoming more and more rare, and that people are too soft when it comes to dealing with kids these days. Would you agree?
A: “Absolutely, but it’s not a basketball problem. It’s our entire society. You know what makes me sick to my stomach? When I hear grown people say that kids have changed. Kids haven’t changed. Kids don’t know anything about anything. We’ve changed as adults. We demand less of kids. We expect less of kids. We make their lives easier instead of preparing them for what life is truly about. We’re the ones that have changed. To blame kids is a cop out.”
