Will I or Won't I?



My boys are all signed up for swim team and basketball this winter. They will swim 2 days a week and have basketball practice 1 day a week. Today a friend of mine suggested I coach basketball. Her husband is actually the coach of the team that my youngest boys are on-but apparently the league needs more coaches and she thought of me.


I have coached a lot- and I do enjoy it, but I am concerned that my boys will give me a hard time. In the past when I have coached them I had one hanging on my leg while another whined about any/everything I asked him to do. It was painful! Granted they are a couple of years older now and they did a great job in football- so perhaps they have grown out of that stage. My other hesitation is that they were looking forward to seeing some of their old football teammates regularly again (and I would get to see my new football mom friends too). Tomorrow I will call the community education department and see if I can get some questions answered. Should be interesting...I am leaning toward yes:).

You were such a great baseball coach! Jacob actually started to like the game. I think all of the kids on the team would be lucky to have you as their basketball coach!
