Lynn Long
In the early 1990s, after having coached boys high school basketball teams for almost decade, Lynn Long faced this reality: His three daughters soon would play on the hardwood in middle school and high school, so, if he continued on, Long likely would miss many of their moments and memories.

See the tree line to the left at the bottom of the hill? That was the outfield wall… Read more »
