Message from BTC President – Alvin Chang
Dear Big Ten Club Members:
A big congratulations and thank you to both Coach Steve Alford and Al Freeman, who were recognized for their achievements as the 2015 Person and Member of the Year event at the Tournament House. For those of you who missed it, you'll want to make sure to plan accordingly next year as it was an awesome event! In an intimate setting surrounded by club members, past presidents, Directors, Tournament of Roses officials, friends, and family, Alford's personality shown through as he told stories of growing up in the midwest playing for his father and the legendary coach Bobby Knight and how those experiences (which included getting locked in lockers) made him the coach that he is today.
My favorite anecdote was when he did a free-throw contest with his star point guard in practice in his early coaching days. The contest was to shoot until you miss. He let the kid go first - who calmly sank 37 free-throws in a row until he missed. Guess how many consecutive ones Coach Alford made that afternoon? Check out our newly designed homepage at www.bigtenclub.com to find the answer!
