Book excerpt: Coach Ricky Byrdsong was often told, "Your coaching looks like parenting, " and he agreed that observation was absolutely correct. He saw his responsibilities as a coach to equip and inspire his players to achieve their dreams. The game of basketball was only a means for preparing them for a bigger and more important game -- the game of life. And the game of life, according to Byrdsong, is one that no one can afford to lose. Using basketball as his metaphor, Byrdsong presents a parenting strategy built around themes such as "Home Court Advantage, " "The Dream Team -- Your Kids, " "Halftime Adjustments, " "Scouting the Enemy's Court, " and "Rules of the Game -- Team Discipline." The message was one that he had lived with his own family, and will appeal to a broad audience of book buyers. Byrdsong had worked on the ideas for the book for three years before he was murdered by a white supremacist in a horrible twostate killing rampage. He and the Jacksons had all but three chapters finalized before his deat and material to complete it remained. "This book, " Dave Jackson says, "is his legacy."
