A work of Artman Former Edgewood star will join several other area products at John Carroll University BOB ETTINGERStar Beacon Artman is already seeing potential with that jumper.
“Now, we’re playing teams and none of the big guys have an outside game. When I get the chance to step out, that can be a big asset in terms of my playing time.” Moran, the father of Madison coach Pat Moran, was another draw for Artman when it came to John Carroll. “I knew Coach Moran had a phenomenal track record. I really like the school. It wasn’t too big or too small. Things worked out financially, as well.” Though Moran plays a style a style Artman likes, there are parts of that style he has to get used to. It doesn’t mean, though, that the style difference is a bad thing. “I’m nervous about the five minutes (on the court)-five minutes (off the court) thing,” Artman said. “But the way Corey plays made me appreciate it more because of how much he runs. “Coach Moran is verbal. He’s not afraid to tell you what he feels. I like that. I like when people challenge me.” Artman won’t be challenged just on the basketball court at John Carroll. He’ll also be pushed in the classroom. “I have not heard a single negative remark (about the school),” Artman said. “Everyone I talked to said it was a phenomenal school. The other schools were good, as well. But I thought John Carroll would help me get jobs. It will definitely help on my applications. John Carroll is such a well-known school.” With plenty of inspiration, Artman will pursue a career in secondary education. “Beth Jeppeson who’s a science teacher, and that’s what I want to do, was a fun teacher,” Artman said. “My mom is a teacher, too, and she had a little to do with it as well. (Jeppeson) made learning a fun experience. She did it with her words, but made it a hands-on experience, too. She made it fun and that’s what every kid wants. No kid wants to sit in a classroom for an hour and a half. She made it tolerable.” Julie Artman, a teacher at Windemere Elementary, even reasoned out why Artman’s choice to be a teacher is a smart one. “(My mom) said that it doesn’t matter what the economy does, there will always be kids out there who need taught. Teachers always have to be there for kids in schools, even if schools are cutting jobs. “And I knew (my mom) helped people. She loves what she does. She has a passion for it.” Though it won’t be a reason he does or doesn’t accept jobs after graduation, Artman would like the opportunity to coach basketball.
