Coach Ford

[tornado]

Someone told me this morning that there's a story in the local paper about Coach Ford, but I can't get it here at work..
can someone who has seen it give a brief summary of the stuff that's new in the story?
If it just recaps coach's background as a gym rat, a good, tough HS scorer, coming from a family of coaches, working his way up thru the ranks of DIII to the MAC and being coach of the year twice in the MAC..then just tell me the new stuff the article uncovers...

I don't see a story on pjstar.com

I think it's one of those "First in print" things where they don't have it online..
and I never get my paper at home until well after 6AM -- sometimes way later even then 7AM -- even on weekdays...

Mostly about his family(his dad and brother)-interesting but not a lot new imo

[tornado]

so there's nothing new?? nothing about recruiting or the signing period?

[basketball nut]

Nothing about any of that

I thought it was good article actually. More info about his Dad/brother and their relationship through the years

I haven't had the chance to read today's article since I don't subscribe to the paper. But, everything I have read and learned about Coach Ford is impressive.
It seems Bradley got this hire right. Let's hope things are as successful as it appears they will be.


Here are a couple more sources of info about Coach Ford's father, who is a coaching legend in Ohio-

And Coach Gene Ford is the subject of a book by Jeff Harrison-

For those who haven't seen it, here is the PJS story (I hope those who are worried about copyright laws being violated don't have another stroke)-
