I choose to say I am retiring. I have been around since 2008, almost exclusively in Phelan. Started season 2 (96 seasons) 98 will be my final one. I have had some modest success in my time here and great memories! I see a great many coaches I played against and admired since I started are leaving, many of helped me along the way. For me it is a simple decision, the game is no longer fun for me so why play? That situation has been the reason of many coaches leaving over the years. To all staying or leaving, I wish the best in the future.
Anecdotal evidence suggests any thread of coaches leaving runs into complications, whether it be man made or systems related, I am not judging, simply stating an observation.
