Coach Decurie showed him had to coach the right way. After he decided to return to Michigan he returned to his alma mater to coach.

So they can see that the world is bigger than their situation. And then come back and help the next generation reach their potential. His first coaching job as a head coach was the boy's JV team at Walter French where he believes he really helped by just coming back and showing them that someone from their school can go play at a high level.
