    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.
