  • Charley Rosen, a Cerebral Coach with an Iconoclastic Approach
    Feb. 24, 1989--- ROCKFORD, Ill.--- What a long, strange trip it has been. The coaching history of the Rockford Lightning franchise in the Continental Basketball Association is a spirited bolt from Stormin' Norman to Gentle Zen. When fiery former Chicago Bull Norm Van Lier was vaporized after 12 games as Lightning head coach in December of 1986, their inaugural season was completed with CBA veteran Mauro Panaggio. The Lightning started the 1987-88 campaign behind Charley Rosen, a cerebral coach with an iconoclastic approach. "Basketball is a very spiritual game," Rosen explained in a recent conversation after the CBA All-Star game here. "It's a chance for a group of people to transcend themselves - transcend their own egos and even sometimes transcend the competition. Sometimes you play a game and you don't know who's winning or who's losing. It's like a fulfillment. Everybody knows their role and everybody sublimates their ego to everybody else." If this guy sounds a little more well-rounded than your typical basketball coach, you're right. Rosen, 48, has been a hard core fan of the Grateful Dead since 1973, he owns a monster collection of Dead concert cassettes and once wrote an article about bootleg Dead tapes for Rolling Stone magazine. He also has a Master's degree in Medieval Studies from Hofstra University, where his thesis was "Allegory in the Canon's Yeoman's Prologue and Tale." And that's not some medieval Darryl Dawkins dunk. Rosen is also a successful author. His 1975 book, Have Jump Shot Will Travel, was nominated for a National Book Award, and he has profiled Billy Cunningham, Elvin Hayes and Ralph Sampson for Sport magazine.

    Alex Gallardo Irene Carlson Gallery of Photography Eyes on the Ball April 11 through May 20, 2011 An exhibition of photographs Miller Hall, University of La Verne Photographer’s Statement My start in photojournalism began with a slide show program during a beginning photo class at the University of La Verne. It was presented by a well-known photojournalist at the The Sun in San Bernardino, Tom Kasser. His work opened my eyes. Once I had seen what he could do with a camera, it brought me to see, and not just look, at the world around me. Kasser gave me a goal to strive for, to work at The Sun as a staff photographer. Through my undergraduate career I learned the mechanics of the craft. As a lifetime baseball player I already had the competitive gene so I redirected my passion for athletics toward photography. I took a detour in my quest to be a photojournalist after graduating from ULV. A huge mistake cost me thirteen months of my professional life, and almost the use of my legs. I drove a dump truck backwards over a cliff, spent three months in a hospital and at home in a body cast recuperating from injuries. I spent another nine months in physical therapy learning to walk. Doctors told me that I might not regain the use of my legs or walk without assistance for least five years, if ever. Luckily, I had a great physical therapist. We worked hard every day and prayed to regain the use of my legs. Once I began to walk doctors cleared me to continue as a photographer and stay away from driving trucks.

It is of great significance to predict the results accurately based on the statistics of sports competition for participants research, commercial cooperation, advertising, and gambling profit. Aiming at the phenomenon that the PageRank page sorting algorithm is prone to subject deviation, the category similarity between pages is introduced into the PageRank algorithm. In the PR value calculation formula of the PageRank algorithm, the factor W(u, v) between pages is added to replace the original Nu (the number of links to page u). In this way, the content category between pages is considered, and the shortcoming of theme deviation will be improved. *e time feedback factor in the PageRank-time algorithm is used for reference, and the time feedback factor is added to the first improved PR value calculation formula. Based on statistics from 1230 games during the NBA 2018-2019 regular season, this paper ranks the team strength with improved PageRank algorithm and compares the results with the ranking of regular- season points and the result of playoffs.

  • Fourth Quarter Radio Coverage of Wilt Chamberlin's 100-Point Game (Philadelphia Warriors Vs
    Fourth quarter radio coverage of Wilt Chamberlin's 100-point game (Philadelphia Warriors vs. New York Knicks)--Bill Campbell, announcer (March 2, 1962) Added to the National Registry: 2015 Essay by Robert Cherry (guest post)* Wilt Chamberlin Bill Campbell “If you know anybody not listening, call them up. A little history you’re sitting in on tonight,” said Bill Campbell, broadcasting a professional basketball game in 1962. Campbell, whose career spanned 70 years, never spoke truer words, for he was describing the game in which Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points. It remains one of the greatest individual achievements in any sport--not just in basketball. Wilt Chamberlain (1936–1999) was a larger than life athlete whose magnetic personality and dominating physical presence transcended the sport that made him rich and famous. Wilt was 7’ 1 and 1/16th” with broad, muscular shoulders and a narrow waist, a frame that created the optical illusion that he was even taller. He was also graceful and athletic: many people consider him the strongest athlete who ever lived. Even his fellow professionals marveled at his strength: he moved 6’8,” 220-pound men like cups of coffee and his endurance was legendary. Wilt was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, into a close-knit, large (he had eight siblings), hard- working, lower middle-class family. Eight to ten inches taller than other kids by the fourth grade and gawked at from an early age, Wilt was never like anyone else. From childhood he was eager to make his mark and to supplement his family’s modest income.
