"(It was) coach Jack," Fair said. "The exact reason as the first time (out of high school). Her character, her aura, her passion and her support. Just who she is overall."
When Fair told coach Legette-Jack of her decision, Fair says there were no words in response. Just tears.
What is it about coach Legette-Jack that attracts a player of Fair's caliber?
"She is invested in so much more than just the basketball piece," Fair said. "It's about your story you are telling the word through this game and about the person/woman you will become along the way. How the game is nothing but a microcosm of life."
What a great coach/person FLJ must be to have Fair say what she did above. I've been waiting as many others have and to see this and after coming home from a long meeting and seeing Fair committed to FLJ and SU and reading Fair's sincere words about basketball and life was wonderful. We have a very special women's basketball coach and life coach as well. Can't wait for the season to begin.
