Coach Sherron
-
Free State High School in Lawrence.

Kinda surprises me, he’d have to work really hard. My youngest son has a good buddy that’s on staff there. He played bb w/him. I use to run into sherron at KU games all the time. He always said hi. I wondered if sherron actually had a job. I’m not sure I can see it. Big job to start off.

He’s been working towards this for a long time. Glad to see it’s paying off.

@BShark I didn’t know that. Has he been an ast. anywhere? I guess he’s coached AAU ball.

It’s official.

Congratulations, Sherron. You will do an excellent job!

Tyshawn has agreed to be Sherron’s asst coach.

Wow. Hell of a coaching pedigree for a HS coaching staff.

MAN if I was at that age. - -I would give anything to have two Coach’s like that

There’s a difference between a PE coach and a basketball coach. I’m guessing this person came from a small school where that title is the same person.

A lot of people don’t understand that former collegiate and pro players have more knowledge about their sport than most high school coaches. That’s just a simple fact. A high school coach has maybe attended some coaching clinics or a class or two by a high level coach. Most college athletes have taught at those same clinics. Those that had the chance to play in the pros literally had basketball as a job, rather than squeezing in a weekend course during the summer.
I’d venture to guess that just about any former KU player knows more about basketball than 90% of the high school coaches in the country. That’s not a knock on those guys, but if you’re Tyshawn Taylor, you played high school ball under Bob Hurley, probably one of the ten best high school coaches in the country. You played in college for Bill Self. You played in the NBA for Avery Johnson (NBA veteran, NBA coach, champion as a player) PJ Carlesimo (college and NBA coach, assistant for the Dream Team - yeah, that Dream Team, assistant for the Spurs with three championship rings to prove it), and Jason Kidd (NBA champ, Olympic gold medalist x2). There’s probably not a HS coach in the state that has worked with anyone as accomplished as Hurley, Self, Johnson, Carlesimo, or Kidd. Tyshawn Taylor has worked with all of them.
And that doesn’t include all of the assistants he has worked with in his time in the NBA and all of the coaches and assistants he worked with overseas. That’s why those guys have so much basketball knowledge. And that doesn’t include the players he played with, like Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce.
There isn’t a high school coach here in Kansas that would turn down the chance to have Paul Pierce talk to his team about basketball for ten or fifteen minutes. Tyshawn Taylor spent part of an NBA season with him. No comparison in terms of basketball knowledge. HS coaches would fall over themselves to have Bill Self draw up a play. Tyshawn was in the huddle for it.

Yeah, the Jr HS he quit part way through probably had just that.

We’re a big 4a, were a 5a school. We’ve had some really good high school coaches. They started out teaching and coaching then ended up as administrators and coaches. We’ve had a lot of ast coaches for rule 10 and a heck of a lot of them for jr hi. Jr hi consisted of any Tom, Dick and Harriet they could convince to coach. Being a really good college player doesn’t equal a great hi school coach. Sherron and Ty will have a great chance to become good coaches. Self will be around to mentor them. Does sherron have the the discipline to get everything organized? Also character is huge! I’m sure they know that. Big difference.

@rockchalkwyo almost every PE teacher goes in to physical Ed and health to coach.

I cannot put into words how delicious that tweet is…lol. I’ll bet dollars to donuts he has a pocket protector and always carries a pen with him. Probably wears a red onesie on the weekends.

I helped out at camps Sherron was working well after his KU days. He worked very well with the kids, all ages, and you could see his heart was in teaching them all he could in the time allowed. I figured he would be a coach someplace sometime and am tickled to see him doing so.
