Coaches Spotlight: Coach Cox
Kurtis White
|
I’ve learned something over the years, actually this may be the only thing I have learned to be true: We sports fans are very meticulous by nature. We find our rhythms and we stick to what we know best. Whether it’s growing a beard until the mountaineers lose a game (my girlfriend’s least favorite) or the Red Sox believing a wad of gum under a certain players baseball cap broke the curse of The Babe, it’s not just traditions or superstitions. Which brings me to coaching. We either hold a coach up in a sort of divinity or we simply say he’s garbage, but either way we have the same meticulous view to coaching as our beloved superstitions. I have some news: Coaches are human. I know, crazy right? Keep reading and I’ll prove it. This is a Q&A with our men’s basketball coach Steve Cox. This just may have broken the foundation for all sorts of clinical research on the humanity of coaches, and that they may in fact be human and not the reverent super beings we sports fans see them as.
