I WOULD LIKE TO THANK KEVIN RUSSELL WHO IS THE HEAD COACH FOR THE MORRO BAY HIGH SCHOOL PIRATES IN MORRO BAY, CALIFORNIA FOR SHARING ADVICE AND THOUGHTS ON THE 2022-23 CAMPAIGN WITH THE CANNON NETWORK. HE SHARED, “I WOULD SAY I HAVE BEEN LUCKY TO BE SURROUNDED BY A TON OF GREAT COACHES WHO WERE MASTERS AT TEACHING- SO THAT WOULD BE MY ADVICE.  HANG OUT WITH GREAT TEACHERS- OF ANY SPORT OR SUBJECT. ANYONE CAN LOOK UP DRILLS AND STRATEGIES, BUT CAN YOU TEACH?  KEEP IN TOUCH WITH YOUR MENTORS.  SURROUND YOURSELF WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE OLDER AND WISER THAN YOURSELF.  AS A YOUNG COACH MYSELF I AM STILL SEEKING OUT ADVICE FROM THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN AROUND MUCH LONGER THAN I HAVE.  I AM EXCITED FOR THE UPCOMING SEASON WITH MORRO BAY HIGH SCHOOL.  THE CENTRAL COAST HAS SOME GREAT BASKETBALL AND WE HAVE SOME REALLY GOOD PLAYERS WHO ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT HOOPS.  I WANT FANS TO BE ENTERTAINED WHEN THEY WATCH US PLAY, AND I WANT THE YOUTH TO LOOK UP TO OUR PLAYERS IN THE COMMUNITY.”
