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
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.

The Maturation of Russell Westbrook
The Maturation of Russell Westbrook Khris Matthews-Marion Contributing Writer, Sports Radio America “I think Russell’s demeanor and his aggression is what the DNA of a team should be. He’s aggressive and he’s unapologetic about the way he plays. “I believe Russell has the same mentality that I have had, which is that criticism doesn’t matter.” -- Kobe Bryant on Russell Westbrook’s development. Oklahoma City – When he was drafted fourth overall by the Seattle Supersonics in the 2008 NBA draft, analysts struggled to come up with a player comparison for him. Marc Jackson compared him to Gary Payton and because of his rebounding ability; the media tabbed Rajon Rondo as the best example of what he could turn into. Still, others thought he was built in the Steve Francis mold. However, it may be the Black Mamba, in terms of intensity and eye- popping athletic ability, who may be the closest and best equivalent when looking at the future of Russell Westbrook. Kobe Bryant is arguably the greatest player the NBA has seen in the last thirty years not named Michael Jordan. He has been the heartbeat of LA's most historic team for almost two decades and has hoisted the Larry O'Brien trophy five separate times. His comments during ESPN Grantland's Basketball Hour were revealing about the level of respect he has for a man who is walking down a similar path. His experience, success, basketball acumen and specifically his relationship with Shaquille O'Neal made him a perfect candidate to judge the maturation of man who is escaping the shadow of an established star.
