The Family’s Decision

When John was offered the Wes-Del job, he didn’t make the decision.

“I sat [my family] down and asked, ‘Do you want me to do this again?’ and they said yes,” he said. “So I’ve always had their support. They’re my biggest supporters. They’re also harsh critics. They’re not afraid to tell me exactly what they think about this or whether you did this right or wrong. But at the end of the day, they’ll always give me a hug.”

John’s wife, Brandi McGlothin, is no stranger to his job. The marriage of 22 years began with a basketball game.

“He was an assistant at Yorktown, and another assistant was dating my friend and coworker’s daughter,” she said. “They decided to set us up. The plan was to come to one of John’s games with my friend without him knowing I would be there ahead of time. I could check him out, and if interested, we would all go out together after the game. I gave the thumbs up, we went to Applebee’s, and we’ve been together ever since.”

When the Wes-Del coaching opportunity was presented, she did not hesitate. She knew coaching was her husband’s dream job and believes he was lucky enough to accomplish it.
