"Coach" Freeman, you will forever have a place in hearts of the Hud family. Thank you for your unwavering support, inspiration, guidance, consistency, leadership you provided to not only my student athletes but all young people whose path you crossed. You have earned your wings but I somehow don't picture you in heaven resting on your laurels. I think you'll be up there coaching the other angels on how to pivot, palm the ball, three point shoot...Coaching seemed to be in your spirit. So greatful you are leaving dome of that spirit here with us.
