I do remember George Lett, Cherokee, the Tommy coaches, even Ed Baswell and Jose Gant. I remember all those names (and yours, too, of course).

But most of us are stunned. All this time we considered you a placid, laid-back Dutchman who wouldn't even think of striking a defenseless ref from 5 feet. Your strategy didn't seem to work since the Gents lost. The expression of the coaches' faces were ones of 'did I really see what I thought I did?' Even thought I am a loyal La. Techster, the Centenary basketball program brought some valuable positive energy to Shreveport for a number of years.Nico Van Thynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072351355184106484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125402567351329247.post-81472073175231306132013-02-01T08:58:47.516-06:002013-02-01T08:58:47.516-06:00From Clyde Mizumoto: Loved your blog entry about h...From Clyde Mizumoto: Loved your blog entry about heaving the basketball at the ref, then getting the heave-ho in return.

Thanks for sharing. That’s hilarious. I’m sure I actually got close to being kicked out of a few games myself as an SID. I yelled at officials a few times and got warned but that’s about it. Like you, I just didn’t want my team to get a technical. I did however get kicked out of quite a few baseball games as a player (arguing with umpires) and basketball (got in a few fights).

He and Sam [Wilkinson] and a couple other guys went to the World Series (Rangers vs. Cardinals) together a couple of years ago. ... Go stand in the corner.

Mark Tiner's first basketball game to attend was when Woodlawn played in the state finals in Alexandria. Mark was still in diapers. After the game we went on to Church Point to see Vickie's folks. I was at Tech with Tommy Canterbury. Good guy. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
