Coach Fore

THE WAITING IS OVER!!!

In case you have not heard, I am the new Head Coach of Girls Basketball at Glenpool High School. I look forward to the opportunity and the challenge of it.

I have many friends at Union, and MANY people to thank that helped me not only get this job, but helped me become a better coach and teacher. Too many to completely list, so thank you ALL!!!

I will keep in touch, and you will probably hear about me from time to time. You can still check in on me at www.coachfore.net, but it will now be blue and white, not red and black. (Finally - no more OU colors!!!)

Thanks again!!

Matt

Waiting Game

The AD at Glenpool has called Coach Stacy, and several of our people at Union have been in contact with him or the principal at Glenpool on my behalf.

I appreciate them all!

Now, we are just playing the waiting game on hearing from them. It would be a nice "Last Friday" gift to hear from them today, but we'll see.

IF I GET THE JOB - I am anxious to meet with the players and have a team camp, and maybe get to the Oologah Team Camp to get them together for a while. Patience is difficult, but I am ready to get going!!

Glenpool?

The interveiw at Glenpool went really well yesterday afternoon. They seemed really impressed with my portfolio (which will be available online very soon), and I think I nailed all of their questions. We'll see soon, I guess. They said they would make a decision by next Friday, but I think they meant this Friday.

The 3 I interviewed with, all three are principals or asst. principals, said the program was going to be way down from what they were used to. They have 12-14 players remaining 9th grade up. So, it will be work, but I am ready.

Caris Beth

Caris is getting so close to walking! She is also starting to say Mama, which makes Adrienne REAL happy!

She looks at the ultrasound pictures of the new baby and points. Hopefully at the next doctor visit we can find out if it's going to be a Bubba or a Sissy.

I'll keep you posted.

Nope.

Well, BA hired someone else, so that's over with. They said they did not hire me because I did not have varsity head coaching experience. OK. Whatever. They also gave "..., youth, ..." as an excuse which makes me wonder if I have a court case against them for age discrimination. The guy they hired is a whole year older than me though.

Now I have an interview with Glenpool on Monday for their head coaching spot with the girls team. Thanks to Mr. Bushyhead for helping me land the interview!

I still have not heard anything else from the other "leads" so I guess I keep pursuing coaching leads.

What's New?

I had an interview yesterday for a position. It went well, I should know by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week how it went and who gets the job. Once I know about that result I will let you know more of what is going on.

Caris was pretty sick last night. Just make sure if you feed a baby strawberry yogurt, they chew the strawberry chunks. Otherwise, they make for a strange bed-covering. And, oh, the smell of it all.
