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

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

of wins and losses,
will a successful

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.
