Orange Julius Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 For those of you who don't frequent www.coachshimmy.com here is her last blog entry. A coach with peronality who is not afraid to use it, now that is a wish I have. 2007: A COACH CAN WISH CAN'T SHE? I don’t do New Year’s resolutions. I think they are asinine. Why wait for a particular date to resolve yourself to doing something that if it were important enough to you, you should’ve have been doing all along? However, I do believe in New Year Wish Lists. So I made one of my own. Well, I didn’t. But my alter ego, Shim Shady did. I’d like to share it. Shim Shady’s 2007 Wish List: ¨ I wish that Bobby Knight would practice the same discipline & restraint that he is so phenomenal at instilling in his players. ¨ I wish that Donald Trump would get a new hairstyle. Better yet, just cut it off. ¨ I wish that more women’s basketball coaches would get million dollar contracts. (You can start with me.) ¨ I wish that the Billikens would reach all their team goals this year. ¨ I wish that people would stop asking me what a Billiken is. ¨ I wish that I had $1 for every time someone asked me what a Billiken is. ¨ I wish that my mom would actually use the running socks, walking shoes, & Mp3 player with the play lists, “workout jamsâ€, “songs to get in shape toâ€, and “she’s a bad mama jama†that I bought her for Christmas two years ago. ¨ I wish that we would be able to keep our practice players. ¨ I wish that Eminem and Kim would get remarried. ¨ I wish that Brittany and Kevin would not. ¨ I wish that Tom Cruise would slowly go away. No, make that quickly go away. ¨ I wish that my players would stay healthy. ¨ I wish that my butt would stop growing. ¨ I wish that Pat Riley would make up his mind. ¨ I wish that my dog would learn how to do housework & start earning his keep. ¨ I wish that each of my players experience the emotion of cutting down a net. ¨ I wish that I’d make more time to play my guitar. ¨ I wish that parachute pants would come back in style. ¨ I wish I were a desperate housewife. ¨ I wish the WNBA would thrive. ¨ I wish someone would explain to me what a Buckeye is and why it’s a college mascot? ¨ I wish for upsets and parity and increased visibility for women’s basketball. ¨ I wish that movie theaters would have a frequent visitor’s punchcard. ¨ I wish that Vanilla Ice would make a comeback. Word to your mother. Last but not least, I wish for health & happiness in 2007. Have a great year everyone!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SShoe Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 These are my two favorites: "I wish that Bobby Knight would practice the same discipline & restraint that he is so phenomenal at instilling in his players." "I wish that people would stop asking me what a Billiken is." I hope she stays around and doesn't get snagged by an SEC school or something.

Box and Won Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 She's a smart cookie. This blog is a very shrewd means of building the "Coach Shimmy Brand." She clearly has big aspirations, both for the program and for her long-term career trajectory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billiken Rich Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I think the "Vanilla Ice" comeback line might cause big time schools to question her judgement and even her sanity. Ice-Ice-Baby? No thank you...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 saturday i was at the same high school basketball tourney that shimmy was at. i glanced over to her a few times when lauren woods made nice plays to see her reaction. at least three times she was in process of what appeared to be text messaging. she is tuned in.
