My aide wanted to take a ride around Iona to see if she could see her youngest son who was there spending first day of orientation...After a short negative search I told her we would go over to Hines...Reaching there at 2 pm to my surprise we found a practice in progress....Much of it consisted of ''stop and instruction'', but following is a very brief things of interest..... The Freshman point guard and Senior Sledge are mirror images of each other in size and playing style except the freshman will look for his shot while Sledge looks mainly to assist... Our trio of Center, Forward and Shooting guard exudes with confidence and ability will undoubtedly be the center piece of the team, and IMO the class of the MAAC... The new forward from Longwood is a bull who will create space... We will without further help have height problems......Our 2 biggest men did not attend...I inquired about Amayo, and was told ''He is doing OK.... At a break, the entire coaching staff came over to my wheelchair...We had a 5 minute laugh session whereby I introduced myself as ''The Oldtimer'' Coach Cluess immediately said ''I thought so'' It was one of my better days.....  |

Good job ot.
Don't know how in the world Coach Clues would think you're "The Oldtimer".
He must be clairvoyant.

Love the update OT. Glad you were able to "hold court" Very deserving of the acknowledgement from Cluess and the staff, especially if they know of your unwavering support of the program. I think he reads the board..... |

Cluess isn't psychic, oldtimer. He saw the "OT" on your cape and made a quick deduction! Glad you got to visit and get a nice reception.
