6:08 a.m. - Last night's officiating game at AlWood was postponed, so Amber and I went over across the street and watched the RHS girls play basketball against UTHS. Unfortunately, the Rockets lost. Watching the game granted the opportunity to reflect and ponder coaching again. I just don't think I could do it. There were just too many things I was uncomfortable with - mostly the time commitment it would take to coach a program again how I would want to do it. For me coaching was a really a K-12 adventure. And a K-12 adventure would be time consuming and energy draining. Maybe if I was retired from teaching I could do something like that, but even then I'm not sure.
After the game, I came home and had a chance to watch Illini basketball on the Big Ten Network. Geez the Illini are a physically talented team. I struggle to watch them play because they just seem out of control half of the time. On the other hand, they can really overwhelm an opponent that can't match-up.
That winter storm...it's still going south of us. My friend Jason teaches at Williamsfield, and they have a snow day again today. Apparently Macomb received over 14 inches of snow.
Tonight I'm headed to freaking Amboy! Ugh. That snowstorm was supposed to hit my area, so this night would get snowed out. I have to hurry after school and meet up with Tad in Hillsdale. We have both games tonight - f/s and varsity - so it's going to be a long night. I hope I can stay awake tomorrow.
Yesterday at school I completed a force-feed SAT practice activity with all the classes. I know they can cheat, and many of them are probably more interested in cheating than actually learning. Still, I feel like I need to try. The SAT will be here very soon; April 13 isn't very far away. Today, we are going to switch gears a little and take a look at slave spirituals. We then are going to have our first group project of the school year. Plus, I think I'm going to go old-school with this and require the projects to be no technology. Let's see how the youngins handle that.
