22 INSIDE SPORTS IS: When Staak first carne, did he try to change the style of the team? After a while, did he throw up his hands and say, 'Forget it, Muggsy, you just do what you want to do'? TB: No, that was his style all along Muggsy, do what you want to do. And I loved it. I guess he realized the talent we had on the team. He knew our limitations and he felt certain players needed some freedom, and that's what he did. He gave me that freedom, which made the games more respectable. IS: You played at Dunbar as a junior and senior and won every game you played, going 59-0. Then Wake Forest went to the finals of the NCAA Midwest Regional your freshman year. The next season you were a starter, but the team was losing. Wake was 37-50 in your last three years there. How hard was it to adjust to losing? TB: Me and Reg [Reggie Williams] had a streak going. My first year at Wake, we were 10-0 before we lost to Georgia Tech, so I was 69-0. Then Reg went a little further than that. When we were growing up we never lost. I love winning, but there are times you have to come to grips and see what you're operating with and what you're going up against. At Wake, once we stepped on the court I always believed we were going to win. No matter what it was, I was going to try to make that come true. Unfortunately, it didn't come true very often. IS: What is your family background? TB: My mother raised us. I have two Webb's success helped open the door to the N brothers and one sister.
