I just got on this site to check to see who Rockford was playing in the tournament and I'm shocked at most of the comments made about Coach Amsberry.  I just wonder if Rockford wasn't successful at all and they were still losing a record number of games if you would be using such harsh words against him.  But with success comes ridicule, too bad thats the way the world works.  This coach has turned around a program that noone wanted to coach. I have been on both sides of the table and can tell you that he is an honest man with integrity and will fight for what he believes in even if it costs him wins or conference titles.  He doesnt only coach for the wins, he coaches because he genuinely cares about his players and he understands that there is more to life than basketball.  It's too bad that more people don't understand that his job is to put the best players on the floor to win, not to make parents happy or make sure everyone plays equal time.  It's a hard job and he's an amazing, talented coach who knows the game.  Remember also that HE is coaching girls, all girls have lots of issues and he does a great job of dealing with them.  Sometimes your going to butt heads, most of the time its because people can't handle decisions that are being made.  RC hired a great coach let him do his job and support the coaches and the team win or lose, because the players still play the game.
Good Luck RC!
