(S1) - Weekend PT #3 - Coach Speak

[Noppadet]

The coach of the Hawks is very much a leader of men style of coach. He preaches a strong character, the importance of maintaining a strong locker room, and being a good community leader. He can be thought of as a very serious individual to the public and media, but he's actually a good humored individual. Coach isn't afraid to push us, and if he feels we're not living up to our potential, no matter the star power, or the reputation, he's not afraid to bench us. His play calling and things like clock control could use some work, but because he keeps the locker room full of intelligent individuals, coordinators, and assistant coaches, things go more smoothly than you would generally expect from someone with those issues.

Coach also draws in good free agents. Current and former players have nothing but good things to say about him, so even though the Hawks aren't currently the most winning team in the league, players are still willing to come here, and in fact even often pursue it. That doesn't mean that Coach is easy to play for, but he is far and pushes each of us to the best of our ability, talks straight, and keeps the culture friendly.
