Message: [QUOTE="Husky25, post: 2422238, member: 2839"] I won a (albeit lower division) National Championship with the Ithaca Warriors in the mid 30's and well on my way to a second when the best kid that ever played for me (Tough, stubborn, and willful) presumably questioned my 4-pass-before-you-shoot rule. "It's been a number of years and it still kind of goes around in my head. I...I slow it down. Sometimes I really think that I can stop my fist from hitting that boy's jaw. One second and everything I'd worked for was just all finished." Anyhow...the NCAA banned me for life as did the New York High School Athletic Association. So two years later, I enlisted in the Navy just after they bombed Pearl and in 10 years at sea, I work my way up to chief petty officer. Then during the height of the Korean Conflict. I get this phone call from an old classmate who I graduated with from the Buffalo State Teachers College in 1931, who (whudentchunoit) is a principal at some high school somewhere in middle America. It was hard to hear, with him being in the Indiana sticks half a world away and all, but because he owed me something fierce and offered to drag my old bones back to the States and a way back into coaching. My time ebbed at first (to say the least) but once I got the best player to come through in 40 years out from under the wing of some shrew (or so I thought at first), it flowed. I hired an alcoholic assistant coach (who had a basketball encyclopedia for a brain and looked 20 years old than he was) and we had all pistons were firing over my last 10 games and into the State playoffs. Long story short, I now have two championships under my belt...oh and I got the girl too. So there. Good enough for you? [/QUOTE]
