Sounds like FLJ received much of her coaching acumen throughout HS from coach Spease, establishing a foundation for Jack that would make her one of the best women's college coaches.

Winning wherever she went most recently at Buffalo she puts character first and after reading the article about Willeta got some truly great life lessons from her about how to be as a human being and basketball player.

Perhaps that's the source of CAB that is so prevalent in everything FLJ does with her BB players and in recruiting them now for SU. You have to be a very good person, work very hard in school and the basketball court and maybe if you can do all three you'll get rewarded and be able to feel good about who you are and become successful at what you do in life.

Mrs. Pease is to be congratulated for making so much of a difference in young women's lives. 408 - 63 she was THE GOAT in HS basketball in NYS.

Prayers for Mrs. Pease and her family.

“As a kid you kind of say, ‘Wow, she’s really tough.’ But as a coach now myself, I get it. You want somebody to tell you the truth. She was a truth-teller. That’s what kids don’t get anymore. Everybody wants a trophy. You didn’t get trophies if you didn’t earn them with her.
