This episode, the fourth of Season 1 is dedicated to one of my mentors, Oscar J. Lewis, former Head Men's Basketball Coach at Frostburg State University, where I landed my first coaching job in 1992.

Oscar was an incredible coach who I think could have coached D1 basketball. He played football, baseball and basketball in college and was a brilliant mind.

Today, at 75 he walks roughly 35,000 steps a day and he is the neighborhood dog whisperer.

His wife Linda has been teaching special needs kids for 53 years and been involved with the Special Olympics for over 50 years. His son Brian also has coached and teaches and played 4 years of college ball himself for his dad while also playing baseball.

I spoke with Oscar today and he inspired me to do this episode. Thank you coach. Love you and appreciate you.
