If my high school coach radiated warmth, my college coach struck me as a cold fish.

However, he has made his name since his collegiate and youth international career as a junior national and college coach.

A college coach acts as the face of a team, at an age when many young players do not wish to be hounded by media.

His arm wore because he threw too many breaking pitches at the behest of his college coach.

He has won two national junior college basketball titles, in 1979 and 1992, and was the first college coach to 1,000 wins.
