I would like to try and get a graduate assistant position after I get my masters. Coaches from other teams tell me that they were a manager and then a graduate assistant…they were once in my spot. |
It is hard watch a game with other people now, because I know what is going on out there and I don't want to get into an argument. |
We get every little thing they could possibly need and put it by their locker and get it organized. That way, if anything goes wrong, we will have enough time to fix it. |
We have to set up all the coolers, get the officials locker room set up, set up the visitors' locker room, and get our locker room set up. Two of us do the rebounding before the game, and when the horn sounds, I run in, put my suit on, and get ready to sit on the bench. |
We show up an hour before practice, and we are always the last to leave. We get everything ready for practice. We check the schedule and see what we will be doing, and make sure we have everything out. Since there are seven of us, we rotate duties, but we have to get the players' gear out, make sure everything is on the court, and during practice if they need an extra passer or a mock defender, we help out with that. |
When you think about it…someone will ask you what you are doing that day, and you know you are hanging out at Bud Walton Arena. We can go down there and shoot whenever we want. At first you are in awe, then it gets to be normal. |
