Those who can, do.

Those who can’t, teach.

Those who can’t teach, teach gym.

I resent that remark! I spent 30 years teaching “gym” and coaching. I also taught Physical Science, Reading, Remedial Math, Life Management, Health, Economics, Art, and Personal Fitness, plus all that “gym” requires, such as personal responsibility, discipline, safety, teamwork, leisure activities, social awareness, rules and regulations, while serving as nurse, counselor, mentor, parent, social worker, personal trainer, sports agent, referee, sports information director, public relations director, and janitor. I’ve driven players to the doctor when parents wouldn’t, paid for shoes and uniforms, provided medical care from injuries with my own money, paid for busfare and long distance calls .....and even more.

Maybe your school just rolled out the basketballs but mine didn’t.
