re: LHSAA: West Monroe busted over player tampering

I wasn't trying to pick a fight.

I don't know him from the man and the moon.

I could careless what he has won or lost. What the freak do I care?

My point was clear: these two staffs knew each other very, very well and they respected each other. No way in hell they were turning them in and vice-versa.

I had more respect for everyone involved years later looking back at how it was handled. The coach at the players school went about it the right way. He smoothed the kids thoughts and emotions to a point where he felt comfortable and desire staying. It worked.

If a kid doesn't want to play for you so be it. I wanted the kid at WM. I pushed him harder than anyone. He told me he wasn't going and I told him he would regret it. I know till this day he does.
