Mid Major Madness recently had the opportunity to down and discuss High Point University basketball with assistant Kevin Easley. From the sound of it, Easley is teaching kids the right way:
MMM: What do you think is the most important value you can pass on to a player? Kevin: I firmly believe that there is nothing better than being a student athlete, especially at the Division I level. You have the opportunity to build lifelong relationships, travel to different cities, and most importantly receive a free education. I have been blessed to have many opportunities that I contribute to the game of basketball. Basketball enabled me to earn two degrees, build relationships with life-long friends, and meet my wife. However, you have to make the most of your experience and not take it for granted.
