(Excerpts from Daily Herald Article, to view complete article click here) Melinda Johnsen was known to have open jumpshots when she played at BYU, yet often she declined them. Johnsen's self-understood trademark was making sure others more proficient at scoring didn't have such good looks at the basket.

He then changed careers and waited 10 years to get back into basketball. He spent five years at Northridge High with the boys' program from 2000-2005 as well as coaching his own kids in competitive leagues during that time. In 2006 he moved to Clearfield High to take over the girls' program. They compiled an 18-4 record that year. He left Clearfield High after one season in order to have the time to follow his daughter Haley and her career at BYU. SInce then he has spent time coaching at the club level and doing individual training whenever possible. Dorne is a believer and a teacher of the "Attitude Technique" by Coach Homer Price. Attitude has to be positive to produce successful results. A positive attitude leads to a positive self-image and they both lead to successful people and athletes. He believes anyone can reach mediocrity, but achievers can decide how high above that plateau they want to go. As long as the thinking is good, worthy, and clearly defined in the mind, the individual is on the way to some very satisfying experiences--on the way, in fact, to total success.
