Famous Players

[Mark Padgett]

I've officiated virtually every Stoudamire except Damon. Also - Maurice Lucas' sons, Maurice Jr. and David. David is now all Pac 10 at Oregon State.

I've worked rec games coached by former NBA players including Kevin Kunnert and Kenny Carr. Also former Olympian Katy Steding.

Here's a cute story. When Rick Adelman was coaching the Trailblazers, his son David played in our local rec league. Rick came to watch that grade's tryouts. I told him that all these kids were his worst nightmare. He asked me what I meant. I said he was looking at 100 unrestricted free agents. He got this pale look on his face and said, "That's the scariest thing I've heard all day".
