Was the first great Tech basketball coach, with Gene Gibson, Gerald Myers, James Dickey, Bobby Knight, and, hopefully another great coach in Pat Knight, following in his ample footsteps. He put Tech basketball on the map nationwide and was the most gentlemanly coach they have had in any sport. He will definately be very fondly remembered and appreciated, not only for his basketball leadership, but for his incomparable abilities as a father figure off the court, for the faculty, and for Texas Tech and Lubbock. All Lubbockites cared a great deal for this wonderful man. He should be a role model for anyone desiring to be in a leadership role anywhere and for anyone. May his family be strengthened by his undying faith in God and his lasting positive affect on all who knew him, worked for him, played for him, loved him. He is without question walking with Jesus beside God right now. His body may be gone, but his presence will be felt by us all in his remaining aura forever. To have known him as a player, coach, fan, family or any other way is to have known the very essence of what God wants us all to become. Good bye loyal and faithful Red Raider.
