as long as school boards fire coaches for not winning enough games, but don't give a crap when teachers don't teach anything in the classroom this is what we will have.....hs sports are more important than hs academics.

Coach Rhodes is an excellent mathematics teacher; what I have always heard is that he is a greater teacher of math than he is a basketball coach. I think he is an offensive genius who is in a class by himself. Any Al Rhodes team has a definite advantage on the offensive end. He has run a play called push down for years at least once or twice a game and always scores with it.
For Coach to be successful, he needs to have a feeder system that he oversees so that the younger guys are learning the same style of game they will have in high school. As I am sure Clintdog will attest to, Warsaw kids grew up knowing many of the high school plays before they even got to high school.
If he had stuck to just teaching math in the classroom he would probably have been a national teacher of the year candidate as he is that good in the classroom!
He did play for Jim Miller in high school and the legendary Mark Peterman in college at Tri State. I am sure not too many of you remember Coach Peterman, but he was a whale of an old style coach!

Dean Foster has accepted an interim position as the head basketball coach at Richmond High School. He lost out on that gig in Edwardsburg. He was one of the final two, but Dan Gunn got that job. He has (had) his name out there as being interested in coaching again.  It is my understanding that he won't be teaching at Richmond.... for now. |

Don't forget the Million Dollar Move Let the rest of us in on it. The Million Dollar move is an off the dribble move. Have the ball in one hand and do an inside out dribble move while lifting your ball side foot in the air. |

I think I can figure it out, maybe. What I need is the move that a slower player can use to gain an advantage over a quicker opponent. Is the Million Dollar Move in YouTube? |

I doubt it, but that is something Feller can make happen. His million dollar move I'm guessing is much better then mine! I only got the chance to use it when I was trying out for the and 1 tour. I was then asked to leave.

The million dollar move in no way ends with a finger role. If a finger role is used, that would allow you to be seated next to coach rhodes for the remainder of the game. A power layup should be used at this point.

A power layup should be used at this point. It might be worth it. Otherwise I'd never get to sit that close to the man. I suspect under his system, I'd either be at the end of the bench or somewhere up in the stands. |

Some of the greatest conversations I ever heard were sitting next to him on the bench. The way he talks to officials and other coaches. It truly is amazing.
