Produktbeschreibung
This memoir focuses on Rick's senior high school basketball team - the 1967 Griffith Panthers. This team made basketball school history winning their 1st ever state tournament sectional and ending with a record of 20 wins and 4 losses. The memoir chronicles Rick's basketball experience starting in grade school and ending with coaching his granddaughter, Maya's community basketball team. All of this represented Rick's glorious ride through Hoosier hysteria especially his senior year. In 1967 the Indiana state basketball tournament still had no classes or divisions based on school size. All schools played each other with small schools competing against the large schools and everyone else in between. Griffith's 1967 basketball team was basically a state ranked team in spite of its very small size - an enrollment of 600. This 'Cinderella team' was revered by the town. Griffith had been waiting for a team like this forever and the 1967 team became their team of destiny. If you liked the movie 'Hoosiers'...

Rick Butler is new to writing. He is, however, a long time student of science and math with a propensity to recognize behavioral and economic patterns that extend over long periods of time. His inspiration comes from extensive travel, living abroad, and from seeing things that other people usually miss. Rick has forged relationships with people in all walks of life and professionally is considered a subject matter expert in his current field, compensation. He has worked in high tech his entire career and excels in knitting together what to others might seem like disparate events. Getting to know Rick is like peeling an onion, there's a lot of layers. People who know and work with him are often surprised by his depth of knowledge in multiple areas along with the humor and creativity he brings to every situation. Rick has a story or personal experience for every situation that he explains away just 'knowing things'. With all of the companies he has worked for, and all of the cities that he has lived in, there has to be more to him than meets the eye. People wonder, what else has he done or seen?
