Sending love and light to the Thomas family.
Coach Thomas was my coach on the varsity basketball team at Cloverdale Jr. High 1997/1998. He was extremely hard on my teammates and I but always followed up with compassion and words of wisdom. He would challenge us to be young men with fortitude by doing the right thing when no one is looking. By the time I arrived at my first collegiate basketball practice at Tuskegee University, I fully understood why Coach Thomas pushed us the way he did. He wanted us to succeed. Nothing is given. Everything is earned. I am grateful. Thank you coach. Rest well.
