Related Topics: Steve Alford, Los Angeles

Did you hear the story of the extremely successful Los Angeles basketball coach who coached an extremely talented 6-6 point guard , the top point guard in the entire country? Who then surprisingly resigned so he could be closer to his home? Or maybe he resigned because he could not cope with the constant interference of the player’s overbearing father and dreaded coaching the two lesser talented younger brothers even though he would still be successful. His health and piece of mind were more important.

No, not Steve Alford, but ex-Chino Hills basketball coach Steve Baik, now coach at Fairfax.
