On behalf of the Valley Forge Military College Women's Basketball program, a profound thank you to the varsity basketball coaches of Lafayette College (Women's Head Coach Tammy Smith and her assistants LaRonda "Murph" Murphy and Jen Wedo, and Men's Head Coach Fran Ohanlon and one of his--and newest-- assistant Pat Doherty).
For so generously sharing not just their valuable time (almost a half day in toto) and their vast knowledge and experience with me yesterday afternoon in Easton Pa, but as well for their willingness to cover the broad spectrum of questions they'd received in advance. It was--in a word--terrific...Nothing less than a coach- the- coach session...A day I will never forget. From which I trust the VFMC program will benefit greatly.
To all of them and the man who put us together--our mutual good friend Marty Zippel, honored as one of Lafayette College's 15 Greatest Athletes of the 20th Century, the first 1,000-point scorer in modern Lafayette history who then went on to play pro ball, and whose commitment to his alma mater as a benefactor he so proudly loves to be "walked all over and run on" every day: the magnificent basketball floor he underwrote--again a "shout out" of my sincerest gratitude.
