OT - Loyalsock's Coach Insinger "CI" wins #1000

[NittanyLion15]

I figured this board could use some positive vibes with regards to longevity and record breaking wins.

And when I saw the sports page of the Williamsport Sun, I was happy to see Coach Insinger of Loyalsock Township recording his 1000th. He's been running the show at Sock since 1974, now he's even more of small town celeb as the winningest basketball coach in the State. I'm good friends with his daughters (both Penn Staters) and reached out this morning to tell them congrats, and I asked how long he planned to stay in the game?

I got this gem: "He hasn’t decided. He still loves it. He says he’ll stop when it becomes a chore"

Ironically CI is currently in the middle of his 45th season... just like ...

That’s the crazy thing about it. It’s like a snap of the finger and every year goes faster and faster. It feels like my whole career has gone so fast. The adrenaline flows and the weeks fly by,” Insinger said. “I feel very fortunate that I landed a position at a young age and it just kind of blossomed each year. Every week I set goals for myself and it seems kind of crazy at times but that’s what keeps me going and motivates me.
-CI

We need a basketball coach that can oneday say this kind of stuff...

Who's ready to climb? Anyone still "climbing"? ... Everyone ready, let's climb.

Can't imagine any young coaches putting up with today's snowflake parents long enough
to be around 45 years.

CI has it pretty good at Loyalsock. It's a small township school that includes the upper crust of the Williamsport area. Terrific tax base and lots of resources. Most parents are professionals that value academics and not obsessed with chasing college scholarships. He's an institution and has coached a couple generations of Lancers.
