Kevin Bacon trivia question of the day: Who was the athletic director that gave Billy Clyde his first head coaching job?
Answer: Hal Mumme. Yes, THAT Hal Mumme.
When Copperas Cove had an opening for a head coach, that school’s athletics director, Hal Mumme hired Gillispie. “My ex-wife was such a good drill-team coach, they didn’t want to lose her, so they had to hire me,” Gillispie jokes. “That’s why Hal made me a head coach.”
Forget small world, this is downright claustrophobic! Even without that gem, it’s a must read article on Billy Clyde and his basketball obsession.
Is that Vince Vaughn pointing to the sky?
For the record, we know that the BCG-Mumme connection has been known for a while. But as far as I can tell, nobody has mentioned this as a primary talking point.
Also, I wonder how close BCG is to Hal nowadays? That would be an interesting question to ask and throw in a Notes & Tidbits column.
