Dear Editor:
I have been broadcasting high school sports for 30 years. Through the vast majority of these years, I've heard Southeast Missouri State University basketball coaches disrespect our local talent.
How refreshing to read the comments of Dickey Nutt. He can't build a team solely of local talent, but at least local coaches and parents of talented players can feel that their opinions were considered.
This is truly a new approach. I believe it will succeed.
Sincerely,
Kevin E. Phillips
