In 1963, Bill Connell was focused on making his Wingate basketball team one of the hardest to score on in the nation. He wasn’t worried about how he’d be judged decades later. Ron Christopher was a rookie baseball coach in charge of players not much younger than himself. Hundreds of wins and multiple halls of fame? Not exactly top of mind.
