Ghost writing ...One of the nicer things about producing a magazine like Scholastic Coach is discovering coaches who can write outstanding technical articles from time to time. Most writers have to bleed Printing at the very edge of the paper. Many laser printers, including all LaserJets up to the 11x17" 4V, cannot print to the very edge, leaving a border of approximately 1/4". In commercial printing, bleeding is generally more expensive, because wider paper is often used, which is later a little. Others have to struggle a bit more. Only a gifted few can do it every time he is called upon. And thereupon there·up·on adv. 1. Concerning that matter; upon that. 2. Directly following that; forthwith. 3. In consequence of that; therefore. hangs a tale. Our discovery of a hot young coach who is beginning to attract attention with his excellent writing on the two major sports he coached. The articles established an instant relationship between us, and we began feeding off one another. Who knows, maybe we'd still be in the kitchen if we hadn't heard from one of the head coach's assistants. He wrote a letter that shocked us. It claimed that his head coach has always been envious en·vi·ous adj. 1. Feeling, expressing, or characterized by envy: "At times he regarded the wounded soldiers in an envious way.... of him and now has him writing the articles under the head coach's name! We no longer recall exactly how this dreadful situation was resolved, other than that the assistant coach was fired and the decision on the head coach was reserved. But he never really dropped out of sight and he never tendered his resignation. He actually re-established his reputation and eventually moved on to a junior college and, finally, a Division II college. He even resumed writing for publication. And it sometimes worked out as neatly as the following: The thing I miss more than anything in coaching is the companionship companionship the faculty possessed by most truly domesticated animals. They are social creatures and have a great need for the companionship of other animals. Animals in groups are quieter and more productive as a rule. . Everywhere I've been basketball fanatics have surrounded me. When I was in the CBA See Capital Builder Account. (Continental Basketball Association This article is about the American CBA. For the CBA in China, see Chinese Basketball Association. The Continental Basketball Association (CBA) is a professional men's basketball league in the United States. ) there was a guy on the board with whom I'd go out after every game, get something to eat, and talk basketball. Then there was a PA announcer. After games, we'd sit and talk, rehash re·hash tr.v. re·hashed, re·hash·ing, re·hash·es 1. To bring forth again in another form without significant alteration: rehashing old ideas. 2. To discuss again. the game, and of course, talk basketball. Those are the things you miss when you're out of it. I've never coached for the money. It was the other things. The thrill of the game, back and forth. Finding a way to get some points for your team. The X's and O's, the preparation. Talking basketball, running into basketball people. I loved all of it! |
