MLAX | Switching goals: Former Syracuse goaltender Galloway begins coaching career at Duke
Posted: at 10:17 am
Asst. Copy Editor
John Galloway instructed his players to turn their sticks upside down. He lofted the ball softly from a few yards out, hoping his goaltenders would save it to the ground without allowing the ball to bounce outside the crease.
Its one of the many drills Galloway runs in an effort to try and make the Duke goaltenders as versatile as possible. This one improves hand-eye coordination.
This is Galloway, the coach.
One of the most celebrated goaltenders in NCAA lacrosse history, Galloway spent his entire life in Syracuse, capturing three Section III titles at West Genesee High School and two national championships in four years at Syracuse. After last season, the lifelong Syracuse native reached the end of the road at home. With no vacancies in the Syracuse coaching staff and a desire to remain in lacrosse, he had no choice but to leave his hometown.
After meeting with Duke head coach John Danowski at the spur of the moment to inquire about a coaching position, Galloway joined the Blue Devils as a volunteer assistant coach last fall. He will stand on the opposite sideline from the Orange when Syracuse faces the Blue Devils in the Konica Minolta Big City Classic at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., at 4 p.m. Sunday.
At some point in time, your playing days in college have to end, and I was fortunate enough to stay in the sport, Galloway said. Obviously I miss everything at Syracuse. Im always going to bleed Orange, but I took the next step, and Im really enjoying the coaching ranks.
A year removed from finishing his illustrious career at Syracuse, where he spent all four seasons as the Oranges starting goaltender, the 23-year-old now spends his time mentoring the Blue Devils goalies. He also plays professionally for the Rochester Rattlers of Major League Lacrosse.
But the NCAAs all-time winningest goalies roots havent deserted him. Everything he learned during his life in Syracuse, he has carried with him to Durham, N.C. And that knowledge has earned him ultimate respect from his players.
Hes one of the best goalies to play in college, so he knows what hes talking about, Duke starting goaltender Dan Wigrizer said, Its great being able to trust your coach, and whatever he says I believe hes right. Its easy to listen to him. We have a real great relationship. I trust whatever he says, and hes helped a lot in every aspect of my game.

Whitewright’s Hanson retiring from coaching
Posted: at 10:17 am
WHITEWRIGHT Tim Hanson likes to change the fortunes of basketball teams.
His resume shows it, having done so at numerous Texas high schools during 12 years as a girls head coach.
However, after 24 total seasons, Hanson, 56, is leaving the often-nomadic life of coaching for now keeping a promise to someone he loves.
When we moved here, I told my wife that I would retire from Whitewright after I got the girls program turned around. I told her it might take 3-5 years to do it, said Hanson, whose wife, Lin, 46, handles benefits for Sherman ISD as a secretary in the human resources department.
Well, as soon as she knew we had made the playoffs, she called me on it. She said she knew it wouldnt take that long, he said. So now I will follow her if she decides to take a job in another area of Texas or wherever she wants to go. She has been great to support me in my job and for the headaches that sometimes come with it. She is the best.
Hansons most-recent restoration project came at Whitewright, coaching the team in February to an area advance before losing to Brock which was en route to its fourth-straight Class 2A state title and sixth during this millennium.
In the bi-district round, Whitewright edged Leonard, 41-40 marking the programs first playoff win in girls basketball since 2004.
The advance also equated the first girls playoff appearance in six years for Whitewright, which finished 8-21 during his inaugural season.
Hanson began his head coaching career by having Dallardsville Big Sandy constantly in the playoffs, including a regional finalist advance, as well as a few trips to the area round.
After having losing years for a decade, Hanson posted all winning seasons at Big Sandy, highlighted by records of 26-6, 23-7 and 22-8.

Coaching Legend Don Nelson Elected To Basketball Hall Of Fame
Posted: at 10:17 am
After 1,335 wins as a head coach, more than anyone in NBA history, Don Nelson has finally been elected to the the Basketball Hall of Fame.
Its a great honor to cap my career, Nelson told Jeff Caplan of ESPN Dallas. Ive had a great time and a great life coaching basketball. I dont actually need to be rewarded for anything, but I am very proud, and my family is very proud of this award.
Nelson coached for 31 seasons in the NBA, split among the Milwaukee Bucks, Golden State Warriors, New York Knicks and Dallas Mavericks. He returned to Golden State for a second stint before team and coach parted ways in 2010.
Nelson won more games than anyone else passing Lenny Wilkens for first place on the all-time list on April 7, 2010 plus three Coach of the Year awards, but the one knock on him was he never won a championship. With the induction of the also-ringless Utah Jazz legend Jerry Sloan in 2009, though, the road was paved for Nelson to sneak in this year.
The longtime coach was one of 12 finalists for the class of 2012, along with Reggie Miller, Rick Pitino, Bill Fitch and Katrina McClain.

Ward ponders idea of coaching at Georgia
Posted: March 28, 2012 at 7:22 pm
Hines Ward carved out a stellar career as a wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers, before announcing his retirement last week.
But Ward may be considering another chapter of football in his life - perhaps coaching. Ward told an Atlanta TV station earlier this year that coaching at Georgia would be "my ultimate dream job."
Ward, according to the Athens, Ga., Banner-Herald, was at spring practice for his alma mater, the University of Georgia, on Tuesday and observing the goings-on with a possible eye to see whether or not coaching on the college level might be appealing in some capacity.
"Hes just trying to see if thats something he wants to go into, Georgia offensive coordinator Mike Bobo said. Hes going to spend some time over here, a couple of days to see what all we do. Not just out there in practice, but to see, hey, what do you do out there in recruiting, kind of see if thats something he wants to do, kind of like when coaches come and visit.

Mick Malthouse: 'It's been very difficult [since leaving], very strange.' Photo: Sebastian Costanzo
LIFE after Collingwood has been ''very difficult'', Mick Malthouse has revealed in an exclusive interview with The Age, while he says he has not ruled out the possibility of a return to coaching.
Malthouse also reopens his dispute with Collingwood president Eddie McGuire over the reasons he left the club and speaks expansively about what his life is like now he is no longer at the helm of the Magpies.
''I'd be lying if I didn't say I've found things difficult,'' he says. ''It's been very difficult, very strange.''

Read the full Malthouse interview in tomorrow's Melbourne Magazine. Free with The Age.
He rejects suggestions he was burnt out when he stepped down. ''There were pressures, but I've been through a lot worse,'' he says.
''I felt very much in control of the situation.''
This puts him at odds with comments by McGuire over events that led to Collingwood's pioneering ''Kirribilli agreement'', which was designed to allow a smooth succession for Nathan Buckley.
Malthouse concedes the landmark deal was struck at a difficult time for his family - his mother was dying and his grandson was undergoing a major operation - but he rejects McGuire's assertion that Malthouse suggested things were getting on top of him in mid-2009, calling it ''incorrect''.

Greg Hansen: Stress one of biggest coaching hazards
Posted: at 1:49 pm
In my first year of high school, our baseball team played at Worthington Field. Our football team played at the Worthington Park complex. My first high school PE teacher was "Coach Worthington."
It didn't occur to me that this man, Glen "Zeus" Worthington, was the man after whom my schoolboy field of dreams had been named. I just remember thinking he was really old.
He was 61.
During my junior year, I walked into the cafeteria for lunch just as Coach Worthington toppled backward, off his chair. He was dead by the time an ambulance arrived. I just stood there, young and dumb.
His coaching whistle was still around his neck.
I strongly remember reading his obituary in the next day's newspaper. Zeus Worthington might have been the finest athlete in the first half-century of Utah, 1900-1950. He was a four-year letterman for the Utah State Aggies in football, basketball and track. He had been coaching at my high school for 30 years, and I didn't know a thing about him.
The obituary mentioned that in addition to coaching three sports at Logan High School, he was also chairman of the Logan Golf and Country Club, director of the city's summer recreation program and was looking forward to retirement.
But at 61, he was lying on the cafeteria floor, dead, surrounded by a bunch of nave high school kids who hadn't taken the time to appreciate what the "old coach" had accomplished.
I later met his son, Jack, who traded at my dad's gas station, and I remember Jack Worthington telling me his dad died of far more than a heart attack. He had died from the accumulation of stress, almost all of it self-imposed, a lifetime of coaching three sports in which Glen Worthington did not compromise his standards. He literally lived and died for his school.
When I heard that UA softball coach Mike Candrea was taken by ambulance from Sunday's UA-ASU game, I felt the same sense of dread that overwhelmed me 40 years ago in the cafeteria at Logan High School.

Whitman-Hanson girls basketball coach Jim Daley steps down
Posted: at 7:56 pm
Longtime Whitman-Hanson girls basketball coach Jim Daley believes that his life stacks up with just about anyones.
Jimmy Stewart had a wonderful life, he said, but mine has been better.
A major component in Daleys wonderful life has been coaching at his alma mater, where he has patrolled the sidelines during girls basketball games since 1979.
But Daleys life is about to enter a new chapter as the longtime coach has retired.
Its just time, said Daley, 58. Im just getting tired. Not physically. Everythings great, it was just the right time to go. Its time for some new blood in there.
During his 33-year tenure as varsity coach, Daley won 510 games and captured 15 league titles. According to records at Whitman-Hanson, Daley won more games in a single sport than any other coach in school history.
That just means that Ive had good players, said Daley, a resident of Hanson. Ive been really blessed here. Ive had so many great kids throughout the years and still keep in touch with a lot of them. Thats what you remember.
After graduating from Whitman-Hanson in 1971, Daley began his coaching career in 1976 as the boys freshman basketball coach.
After one year as the boys coach at Whitman-Hanson, Daley was offered the chance to coach the girls freshman team.
I had just gotten engaged so I really wasnt sure if I wanted to take the job, explained Daley. But my wife told me that shed help me coach because she was a basketball player herself, so we both did it.
