And I remember as a second or third grader having some autonomy to go to the store if I felt like it, walk home, take my time, kick the can. We were on our own schedule after school, so that was cool.

I remember (when he was a third grader) when he would bawl every time he would lose. But there was something about him. He kept coming back, and now hes getting the attention he is due.
Even as an eighth grader he was calm and ready. My assistant coach said I had better get Zach ready, because he was just sitting in a chair before the (eighth-grade) match. But I knew I didn't have to get him ready. Zach gets himself ready.
I don't want a second grader to not go to basketball camp because their mom or dad is deployed - especially when we have people who are ready to pay for that camp.

If we have a first grader and they are late 50 times and they come in at 815 a.m., they have missed 12 and a half hours of school. As a first grader, reading is crucial for them and we've lost that time. We can hold them in at recess and do interventions, but that's not (fun for the child). We have older students that come in an hour and a half late. Do the math on that one. Plus, they are missing math first thing in the morning.
I played with him for four months, and he made my top five. And I'm a pretty hard grader. It's hard to get on that list because I think there are a lot of guys in this game who take being in the big leagues for granted and who also don't use all their tools all the time.
