Don't grieve yourself with

One of my favorite memo-
ries about BaLe was seeing him
squat on the sideline, calling
plays, by running players in and
.qua,of thegame .........
There were no coaches in
the press box, with headsets on,
sending down information
from above -- where the view
was supposed to be advanta-
geous.
Legend has it that Baze
eould see all 22 players on each
play. It was funny to see the
opposing coaches up in the
press box, alone.., and the
scoreboard reading, 62-13
Valdosta.
Wright Bazemore was spe-
cial. There will never be anoth-
er like him. Knowing he's gone
now, hurts.., but his legend will
live on. I will always feel priv-
ileged to have known him, and
what he was all about. I'm a
much better person because of
it, and I have no doubt every-
one else who got to know him,
feels the same way.
too. Youngsters growing up in
Vaidosta were in awe of him.
Teenagers at Valdosta High
School-idolized him. Adults,
metkJaII¢] WOmel,in the com-
munity regarded him as a hero.
Why? ...Let me count the ways.
Winners in life, especially
in athletics, are respected, but
not always loved. The men I've
mentioned above, were all
adored. Coach Bazemore fol-
lowers respected his won-loss
record, but they loved the man.
He was tough on everyone.
Star players got no special
treatment. A team needs that
atmosphere to flourish, and his
Wildcat teams always had it.
There were no long speeches;
just brief huddles, right to the
Point. His players never once
doubted his ability to lead, and
Win.
Motivation was never a
Problem, but the determining
factor in truly believing in the
cause was this: Wright
tazemore was never, ever out-
Coached.
He was an innovator offen-
Sively... light years ahead of his
Competition. The spread
Offense started in Valdosta, not
at Stanford, under Bill Walsh.
!t just seemed so easy, watch-
mg from the stands.
His quarterbacks felt the
same way. Defenses were sim-
Ply at his mercy, and Baze did-
n't believe in taking it easy on
an opponent.
