They would get a more formal education at Michigan State University.....where academics are stressed and they will actually have an experience on a real campus instead of a place like Ann Arbor. I think there is a university located between the buildings located in downtown AA.....not a real college experience... | ||

Sam Taub - helluva Golf Coach; not-so-good of a basketball referee....I used to heckle that guy to no-end whenever he reffed games at WMU. Honestly though, Sam was a good guy....and a good swim coach too. Mackenzie High School salutes Mumford, Cooley, Redford, Henry Ford, and Cody - Long Live the Northwest Division of the good old Detroit Public Secondary Schools Athletic League...or DPSSAL for short (just like Sam). | ||
Eastside61 Member Username: Eastside61 Post Number: 257 Registered: 07-2006 |
CJ - Sam the student and referee was mentored by my father who also knew him from Roosevelt Elementary and later when he was a young BBall official. I think he also had a stint as BBall coach at Mumford.....The EAstside rocked too with Denby, Pershing, SEastern, Osborn, Eastern and Cass......Mackenzie will be missed | ||
Chuckjav Member Username: Chuckjav Post Number: 29 Registered: 09-2007 |
Eastside61 - Yes.....Long Live the Old DPSSAL & Miller High School too (my family lived about a quarter mile from Miller, after it had become a junior high). | ||
Gary Member Username: Gary Post Number: 255 Registered: 02-2004 |
Eastside61...yes Sam Taub was a good basketball coach. The '69 Mustangs won the PSL championship and went to the Class A "final four" before losing to (I think) Grand Rapids Ottawa Hills. Taub was also an outstanding basketballer in college at U of D. At Mumford, he used to show us squirts how well he could shoot; he would stand at the center circle in the gym and fire up these uncanny two-hand set shots. All net time after time. Sam was one of a kind. | ||
Eastside61 Member Username: Eastside61 Post Number: 258 Registered: 07-2006 |
G - TAub learned that set shot from my father who was a PE teacher at Roosevelt Elementary - Roosevelt's gym had these girders running across and they would stand at mid court and shoot through the rafters to the basket.....the good old days CJav- we need to add Finney to the mix, too | ||
Chuckjav Member Username: Chuckjav Post Number: 31 Registered: 09-2007 |
ES61 - I agree; Rock-On Finney Highlanders! Let's also invite the Crusaders of King, the Eskimos of Northern, the Prospectors of Southwestern, and the Falcons of Northeastern to this here Party! |
