LAFAYETTE - Deep down, St. Thomas More Catholic High School boys’ basketball coach Danny Broussard has always known he didn’t know it all.
That realization wouldn’t have surprised anyone when he first took over the Cougars’ program as an aspiring 23-year-old coach looking to make a name for himself.
But even 43 years later at 66, Broussard, who graduated Meaux High in the late 1970s, is still looking for any new angle that might help his team win another game.
