tmh8286 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 This is from a few years back, but I came across it when reading about the father and son basketball coaching team of Jim and Jim Harrick. I bet ttowncount never gave a test like this! "Coaching Principles and Strategies in Basketball" - How many goals are on a basketball court?

tmh8286 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Adding to the intrigue of that whole situation, which Cost Jim Jr. his job, was the Valpo connection. In 1998, the year of "the Shot" that ushered Valpo into the Sweet Sixteen, Jim Jr. was an assistant coach for Homer Drew.

TOURNAMENT: SECOND ROUND -- MIDWEST; Valparaiso and Rhode Island Make Upsets a Family Business ''There is a heavenly Father, and He was in the building this week because it's just been magical,'' Jim Harrick Sr. said. ''The odds of Valparaiso with the Drews and my son, and us, winning are astronomical. This is what this crazy tournament is all about.'' This from the coach that lost several top jobs as a result of ethics violations . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
