It meant developing a brotherhood among the players, it meant understanding the importance of being a true &#8220;student athlete&#8221;, and it meant striving for a goal that required a collective effort the amongst the team and sacrificing your own glory for the benefit of the team. &#8220;King D&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My coaching has given me much fulfillment and value in my life. The friendships and relationships have added much to my family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point it is time to look forward to the next phase of my life. I am thankful for all of the coaches that worked so hard. I am thankful for my beautiful wife Sherrie who was the best &#8220;coach&#8217;s wife&#8221; any coach could wish for. I would like to thank George Terzian, the coach who started it all. I would like to thank Bill Duwe for his guidance and mentorship, and I would like to thank Tim Tucker for his brotherly support. It has been an honor to be part of the legacy of Pasadena Basketball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this letter I am announcing my retirement from head coach at Pasadena Boys basketball.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;God, Family, Dogs!!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tony Brooks has stepped down as the Boys head basketball coach at Pasadena.
