Your way off...it wasnt meant that way...L-B coach isnt like that.....

Even Williman, who has seen just about everything in his long tenure as head basketball coach at L-B, was stunned by the shot.

"We've never won a game in the tournament like that that I can remember. I guess I was due," he said with a smile.

"I thought our kids battled, but Spencerville did too. They are well-coached, they played hard and we were just fortunate to get the win."


Egotistical??? Think not...Guy has won over 500 games and has never had that happen to his team.

Go Blue---"it wasn't meant that way"----What "way" was it meant?
So, according to your analogy---if it walks like a duck,quacks like a duck, it's a ............peacock!
There's an entitlement factor there that I'm not understanding.

Really feel for the Spencerville kids. Seeing their reaction was tough to watch.

Egotistical? No way. He he gave Spencerville's kids lots of props in the post-game interview. I just didn't have enough room to get it all in. That said, I was damn impressed by the way Spencerville fought and scrapped to get back in that game. Tough way to lose, class acts on both sides of the bench Thursday night at Lima Senior.

Ending was incredible. Great tourny game. The LB coach wowed me with his comments about 31 years coaching and maybe it was his turn (time). Came off very egotistical. Using his thought(or lack of) process, does it mean it was the S'ville coach's turn to lose like this? The "me" factor of his comments really baffled me.

So wrong about the "me" comments. How do you figure? All he said was he had never seen that before. You're the only one here who thought there was any ego to it at all to be honest.

There is no "me" in Williman. A class act that always thinks first about the kids.

Ask a parent from an opposing team that has had a kid injured while playing LB. A good portion of the time Williman is the first to the hopistal, or the first phone call to the players home, to check on his status.

I am sure he was emotional about the win.....he simply stated that in 31 years he has not had that happen to one of his teams. I have never witness a shot like that, so if i say in 52 years it has not happened to me, am I an egotist?

Some people really spit hatred on these threads!

i thought that he said he not seen a shot like that in 31 years and maybe it was his turn (I took it as to see a shot like that)....just my viewpoint
