If the physical skills aren't there to play beyond your college years, this is the best next step to having a career in the game. And working with Pike and his staff is the best way Jake could get started.
Remember what great players John Wooden, Pete Carrill, Mike Krzezweski, Brad Stephens, and Dean Smith were? Nope. Nobody does. And yet, great, great coaches. Here's to young Mr. Dadika on his journey to becoming a great coach. Had a great chat with his dad a number of years ago. Terrific guy.
(I was going to put Bobby Knight in the list, but he was a pretty fair college player. Sixth man for the incredibly great tOSU teams of the early sixties, playing with John Havlicek and Jerry Lucas. Lived in Columbus at the time and my big brother was at tOSU. Got free tix and I got to see them play all the time.)
And congrats to Schott Scherer as well! Good on ya, mate! You any relation to my old RU faculty buddy, Frank Scherer?
