Posted this on the basketball board because as coach of Davidson, Maryland, and JMU Lefty had lots of interaction with the Spiders. Very colorful on the sidelines and the story of his car being bogged down in the mud when Maryland played us in the opening game at Robins has become part of Spider lore. First acquainted with him when he coached the high school Newport News Typhoon from 1957 to 1959. RIP Lefty!
