Message: [QUOTE="Woof 101, post: 3676316, member: 1432"] I have to submit Wally Camp. There is no such thing as best basketball coach in CT ever as there are so many variables. This is basically an opinion thread. No attack on the OP... I refer to Wally because he kept a small cow town team relevant in the shoreline conference for years. Won a state championship and is in the CT high school coaches hall of fame with over 500 wins. He was a coach and understood that is just another word for teacher. Great man, teacher and coach, deserves to be in the conversation.

A running joke between them as Jim had a ton of respect for Wally and he showed it by speaking at a couple of the the schools award dinners. My first up close meeting and actually have a conversation with Jim was at Wally's invitation. I was in awe of JC at the time and enjoyed the conversation immensely. Wally introduced me to Jim as UConns most rabid fan, which was not a lie. Have 1990 season JC autographed poster over the cellar fire place. [/QUOTE]
