The Next Avery Johnson

If you are asking yourself "Who is Avery Johnson?" let me tell you.
He is the head coach of the Dallas Mavericks, and I am going to be just like him.
No I am not going to turn black and shrink to 5'5 but I did just enter the wonderful career of coaching basketball.

The opportunity to coach 7th grade boys basketball at a local public jr. high school came to me out of no where last week. The athletic director was kind of desperate for someone to fill the spot and called different jr. high pastors. Now I dont know why I took another job when I am crazy busy with being a youth pastor, but it seems like the perfect opportunity. I thought to myself, I love basketball, I love jr. high students, I love teaching, I love evangelism. You do the math. It just kind of seemed to be a perfect fit for this time in my life and I am extremely excited about it. I just order Magic Johnsons coaching instruction video.

Througout the season I will keep you updated with the progress of the team and me as a coach. Im already nervous about a parent cussing me out because I didnt play their son enough. It will happen, Im sure of it.
