Friday night as Rosemead was finishing up a 57-44 victory over Arroyo at home, I slipped under the rope to take a picture and Matt Koffler was talking with Lady Knights basketball coach Mike Gorball.
Hellos, what's ups, ensued.
One of them asked who was up for the Temple City job and I said I didn't know. Then Koffler uncorked this beauty (and for the prep swearing police currently big brothering all football coaches, Koffler did pastel over the expletives---for the really smart---he used the word: "blank")
"Man, I don't get it. Mooney and Backus leave Temple City and everybody is sorry, they want them back, and they are great guys...The minute I left for Artesia it was all; 'Koffler you mother blanking...He's a no good blanking...You're a son of a..."
I thought about it for a moment and then a whole lot more on the way home and realized how true it was (And split a gut laughing). Have you noticed besides lining Koffler up for every job from UCLA OC to Obama's VP, the message boards always seem to light up with this guy: 'He can't coach' or 'He doesn't know what he's doing' or (fill in which Sumler brother) "Sumler is going to split because of Koffler..."
In fact Koffler is to message board gossip what Sarah Palin was to Tina Fey's career in 2008
Except that Tina Fey actually had a pretty good career and life going before Sarah Palin. Message board gossipers still don't have a career or life regardless of what Koffler does.
ReplyDeleteYeah it seems like Koffler is one of those guys that you either love him or hate him. But if you look at his overall record he's been pretty successful. Also the expectations are now higher at Rosemead so if they don't advance past the first round of playoffs he takes crap. He even got ripped when Rosemead lost in the CIF Final!- Knight Rider
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorites before Alejandre was that Koffler didn't like to throw the ball.
