Reflections on Being a Deacon

4/11/2014

I want to sincerely thank the Athletic Department, administration and community at Wake Forest for giving me the opportunity to teach, coach, and mentor young men. Thank you to the players who have become a part of my family. I will cherish both the highs and lows we had together because that is what shaped our experience and molded our character. It has been my privilege and honor to be welcomed into your lives and play a small part in your story. And to all my fellow coaches at Wake, thank you for showing me how to be a servant leader and what Pro Humanitate really means. It's the people at Wake Forest that make it special and you will be greatly missed.

I have been truly blessed the last five years to be a coach at Wake Forest but I have been a Deacon all my life. I remember watching Muggsy, Teachey, and Ivey play in the old gold and black. I begged my parents incessantly to let me attend the Carl Tacy basketball camp when I turned eight years old. We won ACC Championships and broke records, but more importantly I became the man I am at Wake Forest University. So today, like very other day, I am PROUD TO BE A DEACON!

Thank you for being such a positive influence and energy while being a coach (and during your playing days)! You will be missed on the sidelines. #godeacs

You and your family are so special to me. I can truly say that I knew you when. I wish you all of the best.

Rusty, you are and will always be Wake Forest. I sincerely hope that you can be retained in some capacity. GOD bless you and your family.
