re: Coach Robichaux has passed away

From the Lafayette article, love the one about hanging the breaking ball and the squirrel.

Robichaux, also a frequent motivational speaker, was as comfortable talking to a church full of wisdom-seekers as he was a locker room loaded with shortstops and southpaws.
Many of his quippy quotes, some of them repeated often in different variations, can be found on a Twitter page that in 20016 and ’17 was dedicated to so-called “Robe-isms.”
Among them:
» “When a monkey jumps on your back, don’t let it become King Kong. Make sure it stays your little pet monkey.”
» “We teach our kids to use the game of baseball, not the game use them.”
» “In high school you hang a breaker and you buckle the batter’s knees. Do it in college and you buckle a squirrel in the pine trees.”
» “Be a hiker, not a camper.”
» “You can’t sharpen iron with plastic.”
» “This isn’t easy. Whoever told you it was, knock on their door. When they open it, punch ’em in the jaw.”
Yet what came out of Robichaux’s mouth often was as predictable as it was quirky and unconventional.
“Nowhere in the Bible does it say how to be a great baseball player,” Robichaux said more than once. “But it’s pretty clear what kind of man you should become.”
