COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL NOVEMBER 14, 2018 HUTCHISON from B1 It’s going to be really weird. And it’s not just him, it’s (CGHS teacher and El- mira coach) Nick Garman as well. He was my varsity coach my junior year. I really look up to both of them. Now it’s going to be different standing op- posite of them. You know, on the oth- er side of the court. So I’m excited. I’ve circled those ones. Those are big. But you know, they’re great guys and once we step on the court we still have that friendship but we have that competitive nature against each other. It will be ex- citing. That’s four games against people I looked up to. And they really taught me the game of basketball the right way. They instilled this passion to coach in me and so it started with them and now I get to compete against them. And I get these kids to compete against them. So it will be fun. CGS: Earlier this year when we talk- ed, the team was still new to you. Since then, how have you prepared for this group? SH: I’ve done a lot of my homework. I’ve been watching a lot of film from last year. That’s going to be big going into it. The coaches that I have on staff, they’ve filled me in on what I have and what was it like last year so I’m going to rely on them heavily. We’ve had some open gyms where we’ve had them come in and I’ve got to sit back and just watch them without physically coaching them or telling them verbally what to do. Just watch them and see how they are on the court without me really telling them what to do. From what I see, they’re very hard-working, very respectful kids. And those are big. That’s what I want to see. We’ve seen a lot of dedication. We’ve had 29 kids come out for open gyms which is a lot right now. Foot- ball just ending which I understand so I’m excited to get everybody out there starting on Monday. But from what I’ve seen right now, all great things. What I’ve seen from last year, a lot of good foundation to build on. So I’m excited for what I’ve seen so far. CGS: What will that first day of prac- tice mean to you when you are not a player or assistant but now the head coach? SH: That’s going to mean a lot to me. Stepping between those lines as not a player but as a coach is going to mean a lot. I take it very seriously. We’re go- ing to get down to work, it’s going to be business. You step in between those lines it’s going to be all-business. There’s going to be a lot of emotion around it. But I’m just ready to get in there and start teaching. Start teaching not just basketball but good positive character- istics and it will be challenging. They’re going to see some different stuff, it’s going to be different then what they’ve seen, I’m sure. We’re going to do a lot of evaluating. That’s going to be the biggest thing and not just from me. I’m going to have all my coaches evaluate Backer DDS Birch Avenue Dental CG Physical Therapy Chvatal Orthodontics Cetera Financial Coast Fork Emerald Fitness Club Dave’s Place D&D Auto Grocery Outlet Cottage Grove Garbage Service HORNERS is this Week’s Tie-Breaker Panel Winner with 7 correct Susan Monroe is this week’s Tie-Breaker READER winner with 9 Correct these players through drills and basket- ball and conditioning and fitness. It will be real. It’s going to be a surreal expe- rience. CGS: What do you want the product on the court to look like? SH: What I envision with this team is we’re going to be very hardworking. I’m going to ask a lot of them, give ev- erything they’ve got, don’t be afraid to fail. That’s going to be the biggest thing. We’re going to be very detail oriented so I’m not just going to teach the broad scheme of things but I’m going to really break stuff down into fine detail. And I think, honestly, that makes the differ- ence between a good team and a great team is the details, the fine details. Yeah everybody knows how to re- bound the basketball but how do you actually rebound the basketball with footwork and technique and so it’s go- ing to be demanding. I’m going to be very demanding of these kids, I’m go- ing to have high-expectations, I’m go- ing to hold them accountable. I’m going to ask them to be very selfless. That’s going to be very, very big. You know, buy into the team, believe in something bigger than just yourself. So I think our foundation is going to be off of team- work, very detail oriented, coachable. And then just effort. Just flat out ef- fort because that’s something that you can control every single day is effort. You can’t control if you make a shot every single time but you can control how hard you go. And I think if we push those boundaries and continue to push those bound- aries, they could be great. We could be great. CGS: Regardless Jims Point S Tire Factory of wins and losses, will a successful NW Community Credit season look like to Oregon West RV you this year? SH: I haven’t Patriot Mortgage put, like you said, SL Fire and Rescue the wins and loss- es, I’m not really South Valley Athletics thinking about that. What I’m Starfire Lumber really thinking State Farm about is every sin- gle time these kids Village Green step onto the court Williams & Mathis they take away one thing that they can improve on. And I think if you do that, the wins and losses are going to take care of them- selves. So if you step on and you compete and if you have a purpose when you leave that – when you leave the lines, there’s something that I can work on. If every single one of these kids has that mentality, then I think we as a program are just going to continue to elevate. And that’s what I’m really look- ing for out of these kids: taking some- thing away and then fixing it the next time. Whether that’s positive or nega- tive, taking something away and then I think the wins and losses are going to take care of themselves. So that’s what I’m really looking forward to, just tak- ing something away. I’m really excited, I know I’ve said that word a lot but it’s exciting to be able to work with this group. From what I’ve learned so far from them, I’m ready to kind of create the culture of family, togetherness and really strive for something as a group. CGS: Last year’s head coach Nick Finley was well-liked by players and the community and the team was compet- itive. How do you walk in and replace that? SH: I think one of the things that I have going for myself is that I grew up here, I was born here. And I think I’m going to gain a lot of support from just that. I’m a Grover, I know what it’s like to be a Grover. We’re in Bohemia Ele- mentary School right now and this is where I went to school. You know and I went to Lincoln Middle School and I went to the high school. I’m excited not just at the high school level but sup- porting the middle school level, too. I mean, that’s big. I want to be involved at the middle school as much as possi- ble and I want them to be involved with the high school as much as possible and I’ve already worked with the athletic director at the middle school and met with the coaches down there and told them kind of my philosophy and what I’m looking for from them. Start to cre- ate fundamentals. I think just being born and raised here, I think that’s huge. And I have that going for me which is going to bring a lot of support. But you know, I’m excit- ed. But we need everybody. We need to pack the gym, we need to have that home court advantage. We need sup- port for these kids and I want them to come out and see how hard they work. And see how much effort they are put- ting in, too. I’m excited. 3B GOLF SCORES: Middlefield Men’s Club Monday 11/5/18 Game: 1, 2, 3 Best Ball First Place: -22 Manny Anderson, John Kallbrier, Jim Cunningham, Gary Welch Second Place (tie): Bill Avery, Larry Dreiling, Jerry Pennington, Jerry Singer.
