Thank you staff, Justin Cook

Dear Coach Hoffpauir,

I don’t think it is really possible to thank you for everything you’ve done for me and been to me these past three years, but I at least try to tell you how much I appreciate you. You gave me the skills I needed to be a better basketball player. You taught me to be aggressive, while still keeping my head and not losing my focus. You were hard on me because you knew I could do better for you, and you knew I needed to do better for me. You had faith in my ability even when I didn’t and you made me work hard to develop new skills. 

You’ve been not just the best coach I’ve ever had, but a real friend and someone I could always count on. What we achieved as a team, especially this year, we achieved because you were there as a coach and as a friend. I can’t tell you how much having you for a coach has meant to me. But I can say thank you and hope you know how much goes with those words.

Love,

Justin
