Coach Haney likes all of his games because when the girls step on the court, he enjoys seeing them get competitive. He got into coaching girls’ basketball because no one else wanted to do it. He enjoys coaching and has been doing it for 21 years, coaching baseball for 16 years and basketball for the last 5. Furthermore, he thinks TeWinkle is Mesa’s biggest rival, because on the high school teams, Estancia is Mesa’s biggest rival.
