About the author
Basketball was my favorite sport as a child. At eight years old, I started playing at home using a basketball hoop that my uncle had mounted on my family’s one car garage. I played outside year- round even during the winter, once I had shoveled the snow off the driveway. I wore a pair of gloves with the fingertips cut off to help keep my hands warm. When I turned ten years old, I was old enough to play organized basketball with the local Sunday School Basketball League, which I continued playing in until the eleventh grade. I continued to play outside year-round until that time. Additionally, I played on the high school’s freshman basketball team, followed by two years on the high school’s junior varsity basketball team. Once I was chosen to play on the high school’s varsity basketball team, I could no longer play Sunday School Basketball, since their league did not allow individuals to participate once they made the varsity team. When I went to college, I was asked by the coach of the team if I would be interested in playing basketball for him, but I graciously declined. I would have loved to play, but I chose to continue working at my part-time job to help pay my college expenses. I did manage to find enough time to play twice a week in a local men’s basketball league for three years. The following year, I chose to play on a semi-professional basketball team, but just prior to the first game of the season, I injured my knee which required surgery. That ended my short stint in the league; but the following year I returned to play in the local men’s basketball league for almost another twenty years, before my body told me to call it quits. Once my son was old enough to play organized basketball in the local Sunday School Basketball League at ten years old, I took the job of coaching his teams along with refereeing games. I held the position of President of the league for a number of years until I stopped coaching in the league one year after my son graduated from high school. From that point on, even though I never played one day of true organized baseball, I focused solely on coaching baseball. I put basketball on the back burner and heavily devoted my time to America’s National Pastime ever since.
