    Why would someone mark Schasz as a troll? If he say's he read it, he read it. He's not trolling, he's been posting for as long as I have

    Schaz is a long term Billiken fan.  Before he moved to Washington, he was a season ticket and a member of the Billiken Club. He was a Dogtowner and a Augie and SLU grad.  
    He is not a troller.  By TheOldie

    In the summer of 1969 or '70 my summer baseball coach just back from Viet Nam, got a job teaching and coaching at Hancock.  He had a key to the newly built dome, and I was invited to pick up games. The Dome, like most all gyms at that time was not air conditioned, but after playing you could go to the pool directly below the gym floor.

    Wasn’t an assistant coach for grawer or spoon a former head coach for Hancock. 

  3. Back from vacationing in Sunny Isles. The Miami Herald ran for three or four days, columns about this AAU tournament. The first day was as a lead on page one (never would happen with the STLPD) It would give scores of games and individual achievements. One day there was three or four paragraphs that was devoted to Weber looking at a recruit from Indianapolis (I believe that the player's name was Gordon). Also the Herald mentioned that approximately 200 college coaches were in attendance.

    On Saturday 7/17 ran into four or five teams dining (Mangoes) in South Beach. Based on what the players were wearing the teams were from Indiana Iowa Oregon.

    Does anyone know if Coach Soderberg was at this tournament? It appears to be a national tournament that attracts a number of high profile coaches. I hope his staff attends tournaments such as this to search for potentional recruits

  4. Let's not forget some of the Public School players. IE Daddo, Gabel etc.

    SCHAZ: In St Louis, Club Ball is the dominate force. There are three highly competitive Clubs in St Louis - Busch - now st louis soccer club - Gallagher and Lou Fusz (in alpha order). Every year each club will send players to division I. Whereas in Tampa as in most communities there generally is only one strong club ( ie Magic in Chicago)

    Daddo was possibly the best player in St Louis HS (a member of the U18 national champs) -- I'm not sure why he did not make Parade HS All-American - except that he graduated at the end of the fall semester - and enrolled at SLU (per a busch player).

  5. Unfortunately was in the City last week. Colleague pointed out a piece in the Newark Star-Ledger College Basketball Review. Under the heading of programs in decline >"St Louis won 19 games last year, it may lose 20 this season."

    Hopefully the ship has been stabilized and SLU can prove that the above was slanderous.
