Excellent point. A coach does not just stumble up on 760 wins. If it was that easy every coach would reach that level. A coach can't just roll out the ball and let his payers run then go into the office & mark off another day toward retirement. Sigler had to manage attitudes & egos, on & off the team. In the stands. He took what he had and adapted his talent to his system. He sells his teams on playing defense. He gets a team full of relatively short runners he gets them to trap and press. Defense is consistent. Kid rolls in with a good but streaky jump shot. Homemade shot developed on the concrete at 21st, or Waldo Matthews, 9th street, when I was a boy. Mom ain't got no $thousands to hire a shooting coach. The player hits his open shots beautiful. When he is missing, defense. Trap and press, all the way to regional finals, all the way to SA. All the way to back to back state championships.
I'm watching a APSU game early in the season last year. Player on the opposing team throws a cross court pass. Jay Adams breaks on the ball and takes it the other way for a lay up. The player from the other team hadn't watched Silsbee basketball video. Probably never heard of Silsbee or their coach. Adams gets loose the rest of the season, hits jumpers. Runs beautiful lay ups. Makes a name for himself. The influence of his high school coach played a part in all that.
