Happy Birthday, a day late. It was an honor to stand and
cheer for the teams you coached. An honor to be a student at the school you
represented so proudly. Even though I was never allowed inside a huddle or a
team meeting, you were my coach. As you taught your players to respect each
other and to respect the opponents, you coached those same ideals into everyone
at Carolina. Sure, it may have been frustrating to not wave our arms and jump
up and down when opponents shot free throws at Carmichael, because everyone
else was doing it. But you didn't care what everyone else was doing. You coached us exactly the way you coached your players. And looking back now, and
seeing how things have changed in sports and society in general, I want to tell
you how grateful I am to have been coached by you.
