Sorry about the delay...New position and new hours are taking a toll on me.
I wanted to go to college from the gitgo. After serving in the Army (1982), I thought about trying to walk on at UTC for football. 6'2", 190 (that was a good size for the position back then). I could throw a football very accurately up to around 30-35 yards and could launch one about 70 yards, full tilt. (Even now, I can still throw it near 50 yards). But life threw me a little curve and basketball found me. I have loved this game ever since.
I never played organized BB so it is even more perplexing how I got into it. But from day one, it made sense to me. And not having played the game, in a position, gives me insight on every position.
I had a great deal of fun going to UTC. Worked 2 SEC Women's tourneys, and an AAU 16U national championship, and got to be the team liaison for the 1996 Australian Women's team for a tourney held at Chatt St. . . Did an internship under the A.D., Oval Jaynes. Graduated with a BS in Sports Management with a minor in Athletic Coaching. 3.56 GPA.
