I don’t have a problem with Jordan as a person. Certain aspects of how Graham is run now, how they get a lot of their kids and the lack of competitive balance is concerning to me, from a overall health of the sport and numbers standpoint but we’d have to make that another whole thread lol. It’s more so that Graham is a symptom of the problem.
I’ve never heard bad things about Jordan as a person. And yeah I’ve had somewhat similar experiences coaching a diverse range of kids too haha. One very interesting thing I’ve noticed, and almost every experienced coach I know agrees, is the number one factor in “how” you coach the kids is.. socioeconomic status. More than any other factor. Not a good thing or bad, just interesting to me
