I have a passion for coaching basketball and it is just another manifestation of the teaching gift that has been given to me. That passion to teach, when it comes to a sport, is a passion to coach.
The big lesson coaches must first learn is that it doesn't matter how good of a player they are or were. That will earn you some respect when you are an unknown quantity as a coach, but, when your team is on the floor, the only thing that matters is what they can do, right now, not what you were, back then.
That works both positively and negatively. A great player may make a poor coach and a poor player may make a great coach. Coaching and playing require different gifts and different skill sets.
