I don't rank coaches. In my mind, in the modern era of basketball, he [Carey] is the guy that started it. He came here in the early 80s and turned us into a real quality basketball program, known nationwide. |
The biggest thing that stood out with me for Jim Carey was how he looked after his kids [players]. He wanted them to go to class, to graduate and then go on to four-year schools. He just looked after them, they were family for him. |
This school's athletic programs, in particular, football, basketball and baseball are known nationwide. Basketball-wise it's because of him [Carey]. When you mention Garden City, people know where that is. |
