Oh my Lord. Seattle you poor guy. I live in a town where many ex-NBAers have sons that are HS all stars, very good college players, and the Spurs wont even give them a second look, with inside help. When guys like Tony Parker are taken deep into the draft... ahh to dream. I seriously could get you to see the Spurs workout one time and if you got one look at how fast, Oh jeez. These guys are fantatastic athletes. Have you ever played pickup with any pro players? Lord these are the best all-around athletes in the world. If you are that good they will find you, I promise. |

Played against Nate Robinson and Jammal Crawford in HS games and in pick up games during the summer, played against Luke Ridnour at state in basketball, then meeting him in the spring during 1999 district playoffs for tennis which he beat me, in what seems comical I was placed as the #1 seed in districts. After our match we headed off to the gym to play ball, and proceeded to play 1 on 1, I beat him fair and square. Then in college when I made the team during open tryouts I played against a few people who ended up to go on to 4 yr colleges. When I finally arrived at the University of Washington I went to open tryouts but its painfully obvious that I wasnt fast enough. No one was even picked from that open tryouts to come back and officially work with the team. With football, I went to see Rick Neuheisel at the time to see if I could work with the team during spring practice. I went to one practice no pads, then i was asked by the line coach that I should quit my dream of playing athletics at a high level. Thats my athletic career in a nutshell, only thing I have going in a way of a professional sport is the PBA for bowling. Im a great bowler, I can say that much. I just dont have the time to be a great golfer anymore and I accept that. |

people seem impressed by that, but in reality all it meant is that I never got in the games if you could control you temper, Jer, you should coach it's very rewarding~and you can kind of live vicariously through your athletes, if you don't overdo it like the coach in say, "Varsity Blues" I'd like to get back into it, well-worth the time spent |

How old are you Seattle? Dean Smith was still coaching when you played HS ball? Or you just sent a letter to Dean Smith to tell Matt Dough et al. to let you play? |

i was a sophmore in HS when I sent the letter, come to think of it it was his last year of coaching. WHen I graduated HS in 99 Guthridge was already the head coach. |
