Scholastic Roundup: Jeff Schrier knows what a real coach needs to do
Some coaches measure their success by their won-loss record.
“I’ve never measured myself by that standard,” said Jeff Schrier, the former Jefferson High and Tilden basketball coach. “I’ve been fortunate to have won a few hundred games in my career while compiling a winning percentage of close to eighty percent.”
Schrier said his success is measured by what kind of lives his players lead after leaving his program. “I’ve dismissed a captain from my team before his senior year because he chose to involve himself in behavior in the hallways that was detrimental to the team’s image during the off-season,” he said, “despite my warning him that I would not take him back on the team if such antics continued.”
