A week ago Tuesday, Tob was loitering at one of the high school basketball games when the Superintendent of the school came up to him, introduced himself and promptly asked him if he would like to coach the JV boys basketball team. Tob still had the "deer in the headlights" look the next morning as he told me about the offer. We discussed the pro's and con's and he quickly accepted the position the next morning. It's been a fast paced week and a half with early morning practices and his first tournament this past weekend. It looks like all his (i mean our) weekends are booked now through March but that's ok. I may be a little prejudice but Toby is the guy that always puts 110% into everything he does (well, maybe not the dishes, but most things anyway), he loves basketball, he is so patient, a great teacher, and really cares about the kids.....and that is why he's going to be the do a great job!!

I smiled a huge smile when I saw Toby in a dress shirt and TIE! That IS dedication!!! He will do a good job. He is one of the most patient people I've ever met with a good sense of humor to go along with it. Go Team! (Whoever they are.)
Cool! What a fun job. Good luck and I hope the team has fun!

Wow....a tie twice in twelve years! Is that some kind of record? I remember the tie at your wedding!
He is an awesome coach, I'm sure. He just has that personality that will make the kids adore and respect him. And how fun to see him in a tie! :)
