Why I do this

brackets.jim314.com is one guy in his spare time. I own and operate this site and thoroughly enjoy it. 2023-2024 is my 23rd year putting up basketball brackets on the internet. None of this is possible without coacht.com and the hundreds of you that enter data there so that I can create and update the brackets. So, thank you for that.

As a boy, I sat on the bench with my dad when he coached. I was with him whenever the Eaglettes had a tournament in some far-off place (like Lawrenceburg, White County, or Altoona).

No one taught me to love basketball; I caught a love for the game.

I’m asked often, “Why do you do all of this?”

The answer is simpleā€”I love the game.

I love a hot gym in the middle of July getting ready for a new season.
I love the sound the net makes when the ball never touches the rim.
I love squeaking shoes on a clean hardwood floor.
I love a half-court trap that catches an unsuspecting point guard off-guard.
I love tournament time when the whole season is on the line.

I love the game that has given me so much and brackets.jim314.com is how I give back.

Grace and peace,

Jim

P.S. I do other stuff too for my church.
