The Rival Coach I Admire Most: Danny Smith, Palmetto. I have known Danny and his entire family over 40 years. I love his coaching style and passion for the game.

What I Remember Most About Playing Baseball In High School: My Coach, Steve Hertz. Learned both baseball and life lessons from him. Greatest Coach I have ever had.

When My Coaching Career Is Over, I would Like To Be Remembered For: Being fair to everyone.
