I’D LIKE TO THANK JOHN CRANFORD WHO IS AN ASSISTANT COACH FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL ARKANSAS BEARS IN CONWAY, ARKANSAS IN THE ASUN IN NCAA DI COACHED BY ANTHONY BOONE FOR SHARING ADVICE FOR TEAM MANAGERS WITH THE CANNON NETWORK. JOHN WAS A TEAM MANAGER FOR THE LIBERTY UNIVERSITY FLAMES IN LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA IN THE ASUN IN NCAA DI COACHED BY RITCHIE MCKAY. IN SHARING ADVICE WITH THE CANNON NETWORK. JOHN WROTE, “BECOMING A STUDENT MANAGER AT LIBERTY UNIVERSITY WAS THE BEST DECISION I’VE EVER MADE. I OWE EVERYTHING TO CHELSEA MANGINO, MARCUS CONRAD, AND COACH MCKAY FOR ALLOWING ME TO SERVE AS A MANAGER FOR THE LIBERTY BASKETBALL PROGRAM. MY ADVICE TO MANAGERS IS TO ALWAYS BE AVAILABLE. ALWAYS BE LOOKING FOR THINGS TO DO TO HELP GA’S, DOBO’S, ASSISTANT COACHES WITH ANYTHING THEY NEED. THIS COULD BE ANYTHING FROM BASKETBALL WORKOUTS, OFFICE WORK, HELPING SET UP FOR SUMMER CAMPS, HELPING DOBO’S ON ROAD TRIPS, ETC. I WOULD JUST SAY TO MAKE YOURSELF MR/MS RELIABLE. ALWAYS BE THE ONE THAT GETS THE TEXT OR PHONE CALL WHEN SOMEONE ON STAFF NEEDS SOMETHING. THAT MEANS THEY TRUST YOU TO GET THE TASK DONE. MAKE YOURSELF INDISPENSABLE. THIS WILL GO A LONG WAY WHEN THOSE ON STAFF MOVE UP THE COACHING LADDER OR TO OTHER JOBS AND THEY KNOW THEY CAN COUNT ON YOU.”
