When he isn’t on the Grizzlies sidelines, you can find assistant coach Shawn Respert playing a different game.
Respert is in his third season as an assistant coach with the Grizzlies, and he finds himself busier than ever. However he tries to make time for something he loves to do: golf.
“I am a golf fanatic,” Respert said. “I love the serenity of it. Basketball is a business, it travels crazy, our schedule is crazy, and the emotions get stirred up with winning and losing. Golf gives me peace of mind.”
Although he loves the game of golf now, in his earlier years, Respert never thought twice about the game.
