I've written in every imaginable location; a repurposed closet, the kitchen table, the bleachers while my kids had basketball practice, the front seat of the car when they were at soccer.

When you've coached at that level, you know, you've coached those players, it's pretty hard to say, I would rather coach anybody else.
