ABA

[flipper]

I would think with the connections Sergio and Wayne McLain have, Sergio could have gotten a decent college assistant job. That's how every young guy starts.
Nobody at Sergio's age expects to get offered a good head coaching job.
This ABA thing could be a career killer.

Can anyone find an example of a successful coach who got their start in the ABA?

that was my point. how is this possibly helping his career in anything.

last few times ive saw him hes been playing ball at hausler and also told me he used to sell used cars.... doesnt sound like a promising career to me

Ummm....

I know he is a Peoria product.

But what is he doing hanging out at Haussler?

And isn't there a fee to get in there and play? I know it is free for students. But don't Alumni even have to pay a fee to get in?

Maybe not ABA but CBA.

He needs that degree first to do anything at the college level.

Here's a little more info about the ABA in a story about the Quad Cities franchise.

First, the schedule will be 36 games, evenly split between home and road, all played within a division, then there will be playoff and tournament games.

The Peoria ABA team and the QC team will play in a regional division, that also includes Chicago, St. Louis, Cedar Rapids, and Twin Cities (Michigan).

Games start first week of November and end first week of March.

There is a salary cap of $120,000 (for entire roster.)
The Quad Cities owner, Tom McGinn said,
"the top four players on the team would receive $500 per week, the next four would receive $350 per week and the last four would get $200 per week."
