**Prompt:**

At the top of the illustration image, "Thanks for Coaching Us Through Hoops and Heartaches, Coach Adam!"

Create a solemn, warm-toned illustration that captures the quiet moment just after a U14 basketball game. The Blazers team—kids aged 13-14—stand in a circle at center court, uniforms slightly scuffed, sweatbands askew, their faces a mix of exhaustion and quiet pride. The court is softly lit from above, with light rays cutting through gentle gym dust, casting long shadows.

Coach Adam stands at the center of the huddle, head slightly bowed, a hand resting gently on a player's shoulder—capturing the gravity and gratitude of the season’s journey. In the background, faint echoes of earlier cheering hang in the stillness. A basketball rests beside his foot, like a period at the end of a sentence.

The illustration style should be hand-drawn and textured—like colored pencil or gouache—subtle, respectful, and rich in emotion, balancing realism with tender artistic exaggeration. Emphasize camaraderie, mentorship, and unspoken appreciation in this still, poignant snapshot.

Generated with these themes: Basketball , and U14’s Blazers.
