RH: Bass Tells His Story To Help Children

Brent Bass – men's basketball (1986-88)

Bass kept his three-ring binder with his notes from Wichita State basketball. The words, plays and philosophies from coach Eddie Fogler, he believed, deserved to be chronicled.

"Every day after practice, certainly every week, I would take notes," Bass said. "I was intentional about taking notes, knowing that I was learning from a master, one who coached under (former North Carolina coach) Dean Smith."

Bass played two seasons at Wichita State before transferring to NCAA Division II Wingate (N.C.) University. While the move was a disappointment at the time, Bass regards it as an important part of his story and a piece of the lessons he passes on in his book "BasSketball Lessons: 22 Winning Principles for Youth Who Play Sports.
