Testimony 

"Coach Jagacki is truly in a class of his own when it comes to defensive philosophy and strategy. But what truly makes him special is his understanding of culture, his player relationships and his constant innovation of tactical schemes. He is always pouring into the team and finding ways to get an edge."
