A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU

[HOOP]

The excitement at Miggle makes me feel good about this hobby.
2nd straight year of attending, and looking forward to many more.

The excitement of Buzzfest makes me feel good about this hobby.
Did you see how fast those rooms filled up at the hotel once the annoucement was made?

32 coaches in the Philly league.
Comprised of all the surrounding regional areas.

32 coaches in the BAM league.
Comprised of coaches from all over the nation.

And these are just the more recent "events".
These are just the events in my surrounding area.

I know coaches feel the same way about their "events" in their region during their time.

And dont forget the "pick-up" games and scrimmages that go on, unheralded ALL THE TIME. Games and fellowship that we dont even hear about.


Its amazing how 10 minutes after meeting a person in this hobby for the first time, you could feel comfortable enough like you have known him for years. All starting with 1 common interest.


When someone calls out for a need, responses from others are sure to come.

Many of you guys have shown me many different things here and there. Never, not once, have i been turned away from a question. I have always gotten a good answer, and even a secret or two sometimes.

This is what this hobby brings to my life.

It is a nice, healthy break away from real life. A break everyone needs at some point or another.


So with this happiness that you guys have brought to me, i say to you .....

Thank you guys . Your passion for this hobby, and good natured being is much appreciated by me.

THANK YOU
