Yeah, an actual high school JV coach. I tried not to respond too much. Only asked if he wanted a time out and then said "no, I don't". The varsity guys had a good laugh about it, too.

Sometimes when I do a younger kids rec game, at the jump ball I'll say "Everybody's shoes tied?" There's usually one or two that will take that opportunity to tighten them up.

Shoe-tying 101? At UCLA? Did Walton take it more than once?
They all took "it" more than once. Why do you think they were driving around in Bentley's, wearing alligator shoes?

Not only did they attend "Shoe-tying 101", they made good money working at "McDonalds".

Back then, the underground income and perks were much better in college compared to being an NBA rookie.
johnny1784,
Bill Walton was an Academic All-American.
What were some of the income and perks for UCLA players?
