Larry Brown /John Calipari Coaching Retreat, July 2007 in Tunica Double Pump Collegiate Business Conference August 2006 Universal City, CA Bill Russell and Bill Walton “Life Lessons from NBA Hall of Famers” 1 - “Practice personal integrity so it’s a movement, not a cause.” – Bill Russell - If you make $3 a day at work, give them $4 worth of work per day. This gives you job security and allows you to always look a man in the eye and know that you are valuable. - To be successful, you can’t just be orthodox. - Russell blocked his 1st 7 shots in his 1st college game and his coach told him to stop leaving his feet on defense. He and his coach did not see eye to eye. - Never recruit a player or a coach who you do not want to invite to have dinner with your own family- must have integrity. - When you get confused, listen to the music play! –Bill Walton - “We used to play for silver, now we play for life. - Walton’s parents were the most unathletic people on earth. Never recruit a player based solely on genetics. - Wooden gave Walton a “chance” to play for UCLA. He promised opportunity to develop human qualities, excel academically- but no other promises after every other college coach in the country promised the world. - Wooden recruited him differently than any other college coach and his parents loved it. - The ultimate level of your success depends upon your teammates’ ability to excel as well. Must sell recruits on abilities of their future teammates. - Do not depend on others’ judgements to value your own success. - For Russell, it was ALL ABOUT THE CHAMPIONSHIPS- nobody could argue with that when discussing best centers of all time. - 1967 76ers were the best team of all-time. - Frank Ramsey- 1st 6th man concept for Celtics. Russell told him to just keep his man off my back and I will take care of all of the rebounding. - Russell scouted his teammates first every season. Thought it was very important to understand all of his teammates’ strengths and weaknesses. This way, he knew how to help his teammates when they needed it. Collated by Rob Beveridge – Bevo International Coaching Double Pump Collegiate Business Conference August 2006 Universal City, CA - Do whatever you can to make coaching an honorable profession. It’s not about 2 “what can you get away with”. - He told guards that the #’s on the front of opponent’s jerseys were smaller than the one’s on the back- see the smaller #’s and you are doing your job. - Red Auerbach was a great listener. He allowed his team to become part owners in team’s success because he wanted feedback. - Wooden rarely talked about basketball, rather he talked about life. - To Wooden, it was about skill, timing, and position, not about size and strength. Must out-think people like Steve Nash. - “It’s the things you learn after you know it all that matters in life. - Russell- If he was late for practice, the rule was nobody would talk with him and he would be fined. Eventually, he did not practice as he played 46 minutes a night. - Red always gave his players respect. - The Celtics are friends for life, friends til death. There was never a clique of friends on the Celtics- they hung out together and did things with entire team. - “It’s not how or what you teach, it’s the teacher himself.” - When Russell coached the Sonics, he sent in a tough guy to stop Walton in season opener- hit him right in the face, Sonics came back from down 20 to win game. - At USF, got into 7 fights during his freshman year. He only had 1 scholarship offer! Times were different, he came from incredible high school with Jackie Robinson. - His agenda was get a great education and find out how good a player he could become. - He really worked hard at USF- Be content with your achievements. - When you are evaluating players, ask yourself this question “CAN HE PLAY?” - Russell was 10-0 in career game 7 playoff games- amazing! He did not get nervous because he know that “he did not have to play against Bill Russell and the Boston Celtics.” - Magic was one of the toughest guys to guard because he was unpredictable and always moving. You could never find him. Collated by Rob Beveridge – Bevo International Coaching Double Pump Collegiate Business Conference August 2006 Universal City, CA - Avoid predictability in the playoffs and never dwell on what we did wrong- keep it positive-what did we do well- if you want to win. 3 - Preparation must remain positive. - He played with his mind, his heart, and he had fun. - In Wooden’s house, shrines to Abe Lincoln and Mother Theresa. “A game not played for others is not a game:.” - “Magic was such a great player that he made Kurt Rambis a good player.” Your best players must make other players better. - How would Coach Wooden deal with ego’s in today’s game? He would select the right players- Nash Robinson Hill Duncan Spurs, etc. - Biggest differences between Russell and Magic, possibly the 2 best players ever: o Magic always had the ball, Russell never had the ball, but they both were legendary players for what they did. Collated by Rob Beveridge – Bevo International Coaching .

Culled from oral histories, university records, and private corporate archives, including Cetus, the world's first biotechnology company, this compelling history shows how a cultural and political revolution in the 1960s resulted in a new scientific order: the practical application of biological knowledge supported by private investors expecting profitable returns eclipsed basic research supported by government agencies. Aswithprecedingschools,it was aimed at PhD students and young postdocs. Drawing on a broad array of interdisciplinary sources, Solove sets forth a framework for understanding privacy that provides clear, practical guidance for engaging with relevant issues. But you are tired and burned out. Thirty engaging illustrations by the great Victorian artist George Cruikshank -- Dickens' illustrator of choice -- complement the extensive excerpts of authentic Punch and Judy dialogue. Using the insights of his decade as a journalist in Russia, Feifer corrects pervasive misconceptions by showing that much of what appears inexplicable about the country is logical when seen from the inside. A Comprehensive Guide to Geriatric Rehabilitation: [previously entitled Geriatric Rehabilitation Manual]Students starting on the wards are often bewildered at their role and unable to make the most of the learning opportunities presented to them.

  • Renormalizing Individual Performance Metrics for Cultural Heritage Management of Sports Records
    Renormalizing individual performance metrics for cultural heritage management of sports records Alexander M. Petersen1 and Orion Penner2 1Management of Complex Systems Department, Ernest and Julio Gallo Management Program, School of Engineering, University of California, Merced, CA 95343 2Chair of Innovation and Intellectual Property Policy, College of Management of Technology, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland. (Dated: April 21, 2020) Individual performance metrics are commonly used to compare players from different eras. However, such cross-era comparison is often biased due to significant changes in success factors underlying player achievement rates (e.g. performance enhancing drugs and modern training regimens). Such historical comparison is more than fodder for casual discussion among sports fans, as it is also an issue of critical importance to the multi- billion dollar professional sport industry and the institutions (e.g. Hall of Fame) charged with preserving sports history and the legacy of outstanding players and achievements. To address this cultural heritage management issue, we report an objective statistical method for renormalizing career achievement metrics, one that is par- ticularly tailored for common seasonal performance metrics, which are often aggregated into summary career metrics – despite the fact that many player careers span different eras. Remarkably, we find that the method applied to comprehensive Major League Baseball and National Basketball Association player data preserves the overall functional form of the distribution of career achievement, both at the season and career level. As such, subsequent re-ranking of the top-50 all-time records in MLB and the NBA using renormalized metrics indicates reordering at the local rank level, as opposed to bulk reordering by era.

  • Downtrodden Yet Determined: Exploring the History Of
    DOWNTRODDEN YET DETERMINED: EXPLORING THE HISTORY OF BLACK MALES IN PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL AND HOW THE PLAYERS ASSOCIATION ADDRESSES THEIR WELFARE A Dissertation by JUSTIN RYAN GARNER Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, John N. Singer Committee Members, Natasha Brison Paul J. Batista Tommy J. Curry Head of Department, Melinda Sheffield-Moore May 2019 Major Subject: Kinesiology Copyright 2019 Justin R. Garner ABSTRACT Professional athletes are paid for their labor and it is often believed they have a weaker argument of exploitation. However, labor disputes in professional sports suggest athletes do not always receive fair compensation for their contributions to league and team success. Any professional athlete, regardless of their race, may claim to endure unjust wages relative to their fellow athlete peers, yet Black professional athletes’ history of exploitation inspires greater concerns. The purpose of this study was twofold: 1) to explore and trace the historical development of basketball in the United States (US) and the critical role Black males played in its growth and commercial development, and 2) to illuminate the perspectives and experiences of Black male professional basketball players concerning the role the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) and National Basketball Retired Players Association (NBRPA), collectively considered as the Players Association for this study, played in their welfare and addressing issues of exploitation. While drawing from the conceptual framework of anti-colonial thought, an exploratory case study was employed in which in-depth interviews were conducted with a list of Black male professional basketball players who are members of the Players Association.

  • Museum to Celebrate Distinguished West Enders of Jewish Descent for Jewish Heritage Month Boston Celtics Join Museum Honoring NBA Ref with West End Roots
    Boston’s Neighborhood Museum Museum to Celebrate Distinguished West Enders of Jewish Descent for Jewish Heritage Month Boston Celtics join Museum honoring NBA ref with West End roots FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 9, 2017 Boston, MA—The West End Museum is proud to mark Jewish Heritage Month by honoring three outstanding West Enders of Jewish descent. The Museum will host its annual Jewish Heritage Honoree Night on Tuesday, May 16, from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. Refreshments will be served. The event is free and open to the public. This year’s honorees are Arthur Geller, Harry “Buddo” Greenberg and Hyman Rosenberg. (Media note: Downloadable images of honorees appear here.) Arthur Geller [born 1932] Arthur Geller lived in the West End from his birth until 1951, when his parents fulfilled their dream of buying a home and moved the family to Dorchester. Throughout his time in the West End, Arthur was very active with the West End House. As a boy, he participated in basketball, cross country, track and declamation programs there. At the West End House Camp, he progressed from camper to counselor to co-director. Geller was also associated with the Elizabeth Peabody House and Burroughs Newsboys Foundation. He attended the Peter Faneuil and Blackstone Schools, then English High School and Suffolk University. He served in the US Army from 1955-1957, largely in Japan. Geller’s sense of community remains to this day as evidenced by his work with various Boys Clubs and Neighborhood Youth Corps. He has contributed to preserving the history and culture of his old neighborhood by facilitating the transfer of West End House artifacts—such as trophies, awards and important papers—to the West End Museum archives.

  • NBA Great Bill Walton Inspires at La Sierra Scholarship Gala,Made To
    By Darla Martin Tucker NBA Hall of Famer Bill Walton speaks with former journalist and sports commentator Jeff Fellenzer, emcee for the 2019 Frank Jobe Memorial Gala. Ethan Davis, a graduate of Escondido Adventist Academy, had often heard of NBA Hall of Famer Bill Walton while growing up in Walton’s hometown of San Diego. On Oct. 23, Davis got the chance to meet Walton and learn from him. Davis, a La Sierra University Health and Exercise Science major and forward on the Golden Eagles basketball team, was among university student-athletes who attended La Sierra’s 2019 Frank Jobe Memorial Gala at the Riverside Convention Center in Riverside, Calif. Walton, noted as one of the NBA’s 50 greatest players of all time, served as keynote speaker. The gala is named in memoriam for famed sports orthopedic surgeon and La Sierra alum Frank Jobe and serves as a Printed: September 2021 - Page 1 of 14 Article reprint from Adventistfaith.com on September 2021 2021© Pacific Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists Copyright, All Right Reserved. fundraiser for athletics scholarships. The first Frank Jobe gala was held in 2017 and featured Major League Baseball pitcher Tommy John, on whom Jobe performed the first ever ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction surgery in 1974—a groundbreaking procedure that has saved the careers of many athletes. John also attended this year’s gala. Walton’s career includes leading the UCLA Bruins under renowned Coach John Wooden to two NCAA championships, an NBA Most Valuable Player award, two NBA championships with the Portland Trail Blazers and the Boston Celtics, and induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
