A LETTER TO COACH ARGI

Dear Coach-
I want you to know that I was glad to have met you and that I was able to be your player even when it was only for a short time... actually it's been less than a month, but it feels like I've known you forever ... WOW!
You are a great man with love and passion for your players and for basketball. A "combo" which was nice to see and is very rare, especially in professional sports.
For whatever reason, things on the sidelines didn't work out for you this year the way you'd probably envisioned them, but fact is that without your commitment over the past couple of years, and your love and care for each player and this club team, this team might have never gotten to where it is today.
So with all of this in mind, I want to thank you for everything, Coach. We will miss you for sure!!! But remember that even though you might not be on this team 'on paper' anymore, you are still in our hearts.

In these circumstances a passage from the Bible comes to my mind from ECCLESIASTES, which I would like to share with you. It's Chapter 3, verses 1-8.

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; 

A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; 

A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace."


Coach, I am happy we had OUR TIME.

Much love from your German player LINDA.

Good it is that you tried in the defense and this it will help for the continuity.
