But as a coach I wanted to keep things from being too complicated.

These days I smile benignly at the fights that I see in NBA games. There aren't any broken noses or black eyes, which happened quite often when I played.

We ran an up-tempo, transition-style of game at Boston College - very similar to what we ran when I played for Arnold.

I won the city scoring championship as a senior.

Indiana gets credit for having the most rabid basketball fans in the union, but Maine is a very, very active basketball state.

It also didn't take me long to decide that Tri-Cities wasn't for me, and that I wasn't going to go there to play basketball.

Every jock gets up and tells the world how lucky he is. But I feel that I may be the luckiest one of all in terms of timing and being at the right place at the right moment-even though, for the last 30 years, I was told I was born 20 years too soon, for obvious reasons.
