(Author's note: This dynasty, in a different form, was begun during the testing period for DDS:CB2018. It crashed. I decided to start it over- with a twist.)
I was born 35 years ago, in 2001, right here in Durham, North Carolina. My parents named me Nathan Charles just so they could call me NC, and that’s always been what I answer to. Born in this state, never plan to leave here. My dream is to some day coach at either Duke or UNC, don’t much care which.
I just got hired as head coach at my alma mater, NC Central. It was a long journey, from high school assistant to high school head coach, to five years as an assistant here. It’s a small school, not highly thought of in the hoops world, but it’s my school, and I hope to improve the quality of the hoops played here. We’re in the mid-Eastern Athletic conference, which isn’t highly thought of either.
I’m big on grades and discipline, I’m ambitious, and I will NOT cheat, even if I’m lucky enough to get to one of those big schools where it might help. I want to be a role model for my athletes.
I talk with a deep North Carolina drawl, but I don’t aim to try to reproduce it in this journal.
How long will I stay here? Until a higher rated school in North Carolina offers me their head coaching job.
My next journal entry will tell you about the tough times I live in.
