    2008 Erik Axel Karlfeldt Memorial Open Round 5 1. The first man to hold this position was Rolland Todd, who held it until 1972. This position has been held in an interim capacity twice, once by Stu Inman and more recently by the team’s current general manager. Rick Adelman made two appearances in the finals while holding this job. The only man to win a title while holding this position was Dr. Jack Ramsay, leading the team to an upset over the 76ers. The current holder of this position spent his career as a player with the Supersonics and was their coach before he took this position. FTP, name this position currently held by Nate McMillan, who will be responsible for telling Greg Oden that he’s doing a great job. ANSWER: Head Coach of the Portland Trail Blazers (accept clear-knowledge equivalents, and either “Portland” or “Blazers”) 2. The singer of this song has claimed that it is either about a man attempting suicide or a stripper. Early in this song the singer remarks that he has “seen the toughest around” and claims that “You’ve got to roll with the punches.” This song features a signature Oberheim OB-Xa synthesizer riff played by the band’s guitarist. The singer of this song says that “I’ve got my back against the record machine / I ain’t the worst that you’ve seen.” It appeared on the album 1984, along with “Panama” and “Hot for Teacher.” FTP, name this Van Halen song in which David Lee Roth informs the listener to “Go ahead” and perform the title action.
