“Memorizing the five freedoms
is like passing a multiplication
test. Its something that everyone
should know,” Padgett said.

hear the stuff that I have to hear.”
The stuff that Kye is referring
to is the constant father, son com
ments. “When 1 first got here, it
was constantly in my ear, ‘He’s
only playing because he is the
coach’s son.’ I knew it was going
to be there because it was my first
year, and that’s the hardest part
about having to leave is that I did
n’t hear any of that this year. I felt
that everything was coming
together; everyone was starting to
get behind me. It was so much
more fun this year.”
Kye said he firmly believed
that the team had reached the turn
around point, that next year was
going to be different. “We were so
close,” Kye said. “We had the
guys coming back with experience
and we had guys coming back that
we had lost previously that would
have had a big impact on the sea
son and on the team.”
The guys returning to the team
would have been Irvin Raglin,
Anthony Crews and T.J. Clegg.
While everyone would love to
believe it, no one will get the
chance to see it. While Elon will
go through its second coaching
change in three years, it will be
tough for the Phoenix to post
improvement with the possibility
of yet another new coaching
scheme. While White will
undoubtedly search for the “best
fit,” Phoenix fans will not be able
to sit back and say, ‘Vait till next
year,” That will not come for
years.
White said that he “could not
see why in the world you couldn’t
be successful recruiting here.”
White should look to the universi
ty for the answer to that question.
Why in the world would a player
want to play for a university that
did not endorse the sport he is
playing for, that did not provide
the team with the best opportunity
to win, and one that shows no faith
in their head coach?
