When I asked Coach McCoy does his players eat after a game he said that the players eat after a game when they go home, he also said that they feed the boys after a game if its a road game or if its a pretty long way to travel so they won’t be hungry when they play or after they play. Then I asked Coach McCoy if they would go back to school after a game and practice and he said he only did that one time when the boys played really poorly and he was upset with them, he said it was more running than practicing for them.
When i asked Coach McCoy does their parent pick them up he said it depends on their age he says if the are 16 and have a car most of them drive home or if they are underage and don’t have a car but has a friend that does they take them home but he makes them ride the bus home if they are playing away games. He does not let parents pick them up or take them to the game; he prefers him to ride the bus to and from the game, so they can be all together and it can be a team thing. Coach McCoy says they get back home by bus or their parents come to the school and pick them up when they get back from away games.
I asked Coach McCoy if they help clean after a game and he said that they help clean a little bit but the janitors already start to clean up after the game, Also Coach McCoy says that he does laundry after the game and he loads the jerseys into the washer so they don’t sit at night all wet and sweaty. He says after a game the boys go back to school and reflect about what they did in the game and what they could’ve done better and just sit and talk for a while. They have a washer and dryer outside the boys locker room that a parent donated for them to use.
Coach McCoy said that they really don’t do any activities after a game, they just go home and go to sleep. Coach McCoy said that he just tries to go home and spend time with his family and that there is usually a call from the other coaches or his dad talking about when and what he thought about the game. He says he doesn’t have a set routine it just depends, he said that if he wins a game you don’t really have much to think about because u achieved your goal so it’s more of going home and relaxing and watching some tv till your adrenaline goes down and you’re ready for bed. Coach McCoy says that he loses the game. It’s a little long night for him and he sleeps a little less because he’s turning and thinking about what he could’ve done better, and what they could have done better as a team.
Garret Hatcher is one of the senior basketball players and he said that after a game he doesn’t go home and practice all night or at night at all, he says that he goes to sleep and maybe the next day he starts to practice.
