• Manitoba has lost an important chapter in its basketball history. We spent a lot of time staring at the stars around the fire at the Legion Athletic Camp. Now I am sure Bob will be looking down at us and wondering the same thing, "What's with these new coaches and their crazy ideas?" Work hard. Develop your basic skills. Repeat! Thanks for the lessons from the Old School, Bob! You will be missed! - Posted by: Darren Johnson (Fellow Coach) on: Jan 16, 2012
