NBA.com - Magic Name Assistant Coaches

Clifford’s first coaching experience came at Woodland High School in Maine, where he coached for two seasons.

This fellow [Steve] dated my sister-in-law [Karen] while in HS. He is an AC with Orlando. The HS mentioned in the article is my alma mater. The fellow [John] who married my sister-in-law played for a HS in Maine and all 3 went to UMaine-Farmington. In Maine, the highlight of the winter is the tournament. The Eastern Maine tournament is held in Bangor. I went to see our HS rivals, the 18-0 Calais Blue Devils, play in one session while a student at UMaine in Orono. The first game featured the HS of my brother-in-law. Did not remember much about the game other than there was a kid with red hair and a crew cut. That would be my brother-in-law. I met him at our wedding & it turns out that his birthday is the same as mine. Truth is stranger than fiction sometimes.
