Bobby Maze continues to put his stamp on Knoxville basketball

[kamoshika]

Former University of Tennessee basketball standout Bobby Maze sat close to the baseline in the Knoxville Catholic High School gym recently, watching the host Fighting Irish and prestigious IMG Academy play in front of a packed house. Next to him sat Clemson wide receiver and potential NFL first-round draft pick Tee Higgins, a B. Maze Elite AAU Basketball Club alumnus from Oak Ridge.

After the game ended, 71-53 in favor of the visitors from Bradenton, Florida, Maze was surrounded by 35 to 40 members of his various AAU programs as he sat in the stands and took a picture like a proud father watching his kids flourish. His influence was obvious in the game that had just finished, considering no fewer than 10 players involved were members of B. Maze programs. Yet the former Volunteer, a 2009-10 senior, remembers his AAU program's early seasons five years ago, when he had rosters that weren't chock-full of high-level prospects, calling it "a real grind."

Me and a friend took my son and one of my son's friends to St. Louis in 2010 to see the Sweet 16 and Elite 8. We were sitting in our SUV at a convenience store when Wayne Chism and Bobby Maze came walking by. Chism went inside, but Maze saw our Tennessee license plate and came over and talked to us for about 10 minutes. He was kind, gracious, and really patient with us as we probably asked too many questions and took too much of his time. I was always impressed by his interaction with us that day, and figured he was one good person.
