Last week I was leaving town on Southwest and I took Thrifty Car rental parking shuttle. If you do not know, Al Lipscomb's brother is one of the drivers there and he is very involved in Dallas too.
I started the conversation talking about Jimmy Tubbs and his eyes lit up. He sees good things to come to SMU.
The other rider was a man named Bill Chaffin or Basketball Bill. He holds the record for MAKING 830 free throws in a row. He said that he knew Jimmy Tubbs from his Kimball days and that SMU had a great coach.
Bball Bill is a motivational speaker and part time free throw coach. I gave him the number to SMU switchboard.
It would be nice to see SMU make 90% free throws next year.
No real point but - Dallas people know Coach Tubbs!!

He said it was counted and told a couple stories about Magic Johnson and Roger Starbach - shooting hoops.

Re:
Hopefully all the talk of the Dallas community getting behind him will coincide with a resurgence of enthusiasm from within the SMU community. It sure would be great to see and hear Moody rockin' once again.Hoop Fan wrote:830 in a row? Was it validated as a world record or something? Thats pretty amazing. Where did this Bball Bill play high school/college ball?
To your point, the Jimmy Tubbs hiring is so right for SMU in so many ways. If we support him, we can't lose on this hire.
