"I haven't met a cooler, calmer, or more collected coach than Brooks. He's a stand up guy who possess acute family values, and was certainly born to coach - not just basketball, but the game of life as well. Brooks is a coach to pretty much everyone he comes in contact with. The grapevine tells me Brooks even taught his horses to run the flex offense. I wouldn't be surprised if he was the coach of his "Field Day" team in elementary school (back in the day)."
