It was a heckuva summer for the Vipers assistant coaches. The head coach did his thing. Chris Finch continued to turn anything he touched into gold.
Assistant coach Paul Mokeski got to assist him and also continue to expand his knowledge of international basketball, making his first coaching stop in Europe, while assistant coach Jai Steadman did everything from coaching the D-League Select Team and in the D-League national tryouts to helping out at the first Vipers open tryout (in Houston on August 27) to being a TV star.
Let's start with Coach Mokeski. He brought fans on a journey around the world this summer, but he did more than just keep us up to date on the Jamaican and British National Teams, he told us a little about himself. Coach Mokeski truly showed us his enthusiasm and love for the game. You could tell he was thrilled to be there and we got to learn along with him.
Saw him for the first time since he returned today. Always good to see him. A really nice guy. I think I've managed to goat him into a battle of the blogs. His blog developed a pretty good following this summer. We compared some of the numbers. It looks like we're pretty much even. So the question is, who can get the most views during the season?
As for Coach Jai, well, besides his D-League, Rockets and Vipers coaching responsibilities this summer, he's been a great member of the community. I said TV star, though, didn't I? The video below speaks for itself.
Thanks Coach!
