Coach Jimmy

     Coach Jimmy Choquette has been coaching the Bay State Monarchs for four seasons of both spring and fall AAU basketball. Coach Jimmy has always been in love with the sport basketball and has played his whole life. When he was growing up and people asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up, he always said a basketball coach. He currently coaches the Bay State Monarchs and is a coach at Canton High School. Jimmy is always positive when it comes to coaching his teams and will always be there for his players with whatever question comes his way.
    The last tournaments the Monarchs played in was the "Huskie" tournament hosted at Wheaten College in Norton, MA. Coach Choquette had nothing but positive things to say about how his team played. Sure they were off to a rocky start, but after a key timeout called by the Monarchs, they returned better than ever; cleaning up their silly mistakes and making key plays to pull off a win. The team played as a whole and almost resembled a school a fish, always staying together and moving as one unit. Coach Jimmy cheered hard from the side lines yelling out plays and always calling out a girls name and telling her she did a great job on defense or that was a great shot, don't worry about that miss, keep shooting. Coach Jimmy couldn't have been more proud of his team.
    With the last tournament quickly approaching Coach Jimmy Choquette has high hopes for his Monarch team. With two of the girls in their final year of AAU basketball, (since they'll be 18 when the next season comes up), he hopes to get these two girls plenty of playing time and hopes they will just play basketball to have fun before they head off too adulthood. "Basketball has always been a big part of Jill and Bridgett's life these past 10+ years of playing. They've been playing basketball before they could even talk, I just know it. These girls have been a key aspect of my team and I couldn't be more happy to see them move on in their lives whether  that does or does not include basketball. But yet, it's still disappointing to see them leave. They're always hustling for every ball. Bridgett is always willing to be the tough point guard who will knock you to the floor if needed and Jill sacrifices her body every play; I can't help but love and respect that about their playing" Coach Jim smirked whiling commenting on two of his players final season. This coach is beloved from his players and is truly one of the best coaches to be coaching high school basketball girls.
