REMEMBERING COACH TED ANDERSON …

Ted Anderson was a great husband, father, friend, teacher, coach, clinician, and ambassador for our game. We recently & unexpectedly lost Ted. I first met Ted when I was coaching in Indiana, twenty years ago. I immediately became enamored with his passion for teaching & coaching high school basketball & his unyielding efforts to make basketball better.

Additionally, Ted was a supporter of the NOD7BCA, as he invited all of our members to the virtual clinics he provided during our lockdown months. This newsletter was created to honor our late friend, Ted Anderson.

“In Ted’s Honor” is a free, weekly newsletter created & distributed in the honor of the late, Coach Ted Anderson. Coach Anderson, Andale HS (KS), was a diligent & respected ambassador of the great game of basketball. Known throughout many basketball coaching circles, Ted Anderson, had a passion for not only coaching the girls’ in his program, but also for helping coaches from all levels become more knowledgeable basketball coaches. Over my coaching career, I had never met a high school coach more passionate about teaching & promoting the game of basketball than Coach Ted Anderson.”

“Ted Anderson was as genuine as they come. I will always cherish my memories of the kindness he extended to me as a new, young head coach at Valley Center, along with the many laughs he provided. His never ending curiosity and desire to share knowledge on this great game is something all of us coaches who were blessed to know him should remember and emulate.”
