My recent retirement brought to a close a forty-year career as a coach and administrator in college athletics. I served as men's basketball coach for twenty-eight years at Northeast State Junior College, University of Montevallo, and University of Mobile, all colleges in Alabama, establishing a record of 549 wins and 288 losses. I also served as an athletic director for twenty-nine years at Northeast State Junior College, University of Mobile, LeTourneau University(Texas), Lindsey Wilson College(Kentucky), and Auburn University Montgomery(Alabama). I have been inducted into both the NAIA Basketball Coaches' Hall of Fame and the University of Montevallo Sports Hall of Fame and have been recognized by the Mobile Sports Hall of Fame for my contribution to athletics in the city of Mobile. I was recently contacted by the Athletic Director at Lindsey Wilson College notifying me that I will be inducted into their Hall of Fame on February 16, 2008. I had my first book entitled "All Guts and No Glory" published in 2007. I completed my second book,"The Bucyrus That Was",in 2010.
