Unreal....story...reminds me of so many stories of coaches who I coached against...never that bad though...I went up against a big time coach every 2 years because they were in my league..he is in the NY State Hall of Fame....he would run scores up on anybody he played...in 20 years he could never run it up on me because we split most of our games and they were close....one year at West Point I benched 3 starters and one was sick...had to bring up 3 JV players to make the bench look good and the pre-game warmups..can't go out there at West Point with 7 kids. He has 2 D-1 players that became big scorers in college..he ran a full court press on me and just kicked my ass....down 40 at half...2nd half starts and he continues to press...about midway in the 3rd qrt I walk over to his bench very polite and ask "J...why are you full court pressing...can you make it a half court press so I can get ball up to midcourt"..His response was "we are working on a different press and need the practice". I said "a 2-2-1,a 1-2-1-1, a 1-3-1 press doesn't make a difference'....think he called the "dogs" off in the 4th qrt and won by 50-60 pts.......two years later my team is loaded...a D-1 player,3 future Juco's and a D-2-3 player... he is down and I could of beaten him by +40...all my fellow coaches,teachers in my school,students want some payback from 2 yrs ago...but I won't do that,never have, never will....we win 70-50 and I sub the whole game...when he was inducted in the Hall of Fame years later about two coaches from my area went up to the induction...I was one of those....I drove the 200 miles and saw his plaque....when ever I go up to Glen Falls and see his plaque I can say to myself..." I did beat his ass a few times"....
