Coach: Faith, Family, Basketball

by Megan Stockton, Chad Conatser

Some stories are just meant to be shared. There’s this rare occurrence when you happen upon someone whose life has been so rich and full of generosity that you know the story must be preserved. As a storyteller, passing up the opportunity to share this immense gift would be a sin against your fellow man. Sometimes the lives of others can be a source of motivation, inspiration, a way to kindle a fire that so many have dormant inside them. These are stories are that push our young people towards greatness, towards compassion, towards benevolence. The life of Quentin “Buster” Conatser is one of those rarities. Buster is a man who served has served selflessly his entire life. He served his family, his community, his country and his government, his students and his players. He is an embodiment of what it is like to have a life full of laughter and mirth, but at the end of the day knowing that we are created to serve and be kind. In a world with so much negativity, we need more stories like these. We need more Buster Conatsers. Faith, Family, Basketball is this legacy put into written word. The proceeds from this book goes back to the community that Buster loves so much, and that loves him tenfold in return. COACH is a perfect book not only for the sports lover in your family, but for anyone who has called the Cumberland Plateau home. The story of basketball is woven around Buster’s childhood in the “holler”, his military service, the growth of his family, and the development of his impressive career.

Good short read.....complimenting your grandfather. My first year teaching was in a portable library classroom with Mr Conatser and 25 kindergarten students ....what a year. .

I also was with your dad at York Ele. and he helped me carry warm water for a student to clean up that I carried clean clothes too back and forth to school from home.
