Ypsi coach knows how to motivate

Steve Brooks has been coaching basketball for a long time. He knows how to motivate his players. I was able to see this first hand against Tecumseh last Friday. His team was tied at the end of the first quarter.
Ypsi went on a 25-0 run in the second to blow the door open. I went to the locker room with the team and you would have thought they were losing.
He made sure those kids knew they could do better. I have not been in a lot of lockers at the half. I was amazed at the way he got those kids motivated. It made me glad I was a reporter and not a player.
Simply put those players respect him or they don't play. Let me add I now know why he is hoarse by the end of the game.
Oh, they went on to win by 40 points.
