Because of what the great kids I had at Mansfield did for my track record, what the great kids I had at Cedar Creek did for my track record and my helping Coach Mize in some ways with the Tech track program, O.K. "Buddy" Davis gave me some good ink regarding being a candidate for the Tech track job. Anyway, Coach Lambright honored me with an interview. He and Mr. [Robert] Snyder interviewed me.<br /> It was a wonderful hour spent talking to two wonderful Tech gentlemen. Mr. Snyder did the complementary talking regarding my experience as a high school track coach on my resume and Coach Lambright asked the coaching, recruiting, etc, etc, questions regarding being the head track coach at Tech. His questions were thorough and well thought out regarding what a good track coach should be like. One of the best conversations regarding coaching track that I ever had with anyone during my career. One of the most enjoyable hours that I ever spent talking track.Nico Van Thynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072351355184106484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125402567351329247.post-56948039284366699702016-12-18T12:14:38.104-06:002016-12-18T12:14:38.104-06:00From Rick Cleveland: Wonderful, reads like a fine ...From Rick Cleveland: Wonderful, reads like a fine book.

I had no clue what a juice harp is. Looked it up, and here's what I found: It is one of the world's oldest musical instruments. (From the freedictionary) A small musical instrument consisting of a lyre-shaped metal frame that is held between the teeth and a projecting steel tongue that is plucked to produce a soft twanging sound. (from Wikipedia) The Jew's harp is also known as the jaw harp, mouth harp, Ozark harp or juice harp.
