He was ejected, and the moment lives on in sports history as one of the most interesting forms of passion ever seen. Dave Ego, Hermiston’s interim b o y s basketball coach, has similar sensibili- ties. “I won’t fold my program up and watch Ego the game q u i e t l y, ” he quipped. “I probably come closer to throwing a chair across the gym.” After a 20-year hiatus from coaching basketball, Ego hopes to bring success and stability to a program that hasn’t had much RIHLWKHULQWKHODVW¿YH\HDUV He was hired in August when former coach Jake McElligott resigned after one season amid an ongoing Teacher Standards and Practices Commission investigation. Working with a largely new roster, Ego will bring discipline and pace to the Dawghouse. He EHOLHYHV WHHQDJHUV ¿QG VRODFH in structure and dedication in discipline. But how much has the game changed? The last time Ego coached a high school basket- ball game, the sport had yet to evolve into the perimeter-fo- cused screen-and-roll game we watch today. The 3-point line is bigger than it’s ever been and tall players, once banished to the low block, are starting to develop outside games. Ego believes his philosophies still have a place in the game, though. “The fundamentals haven’t changed,” he said. “They still dribble. They still rebound. They still shoot. Does the 3-point line change anything? Some for the better, some not for the better. “It’s probably changed the game the outside game a little, but generally not (basketball).” He noted some college basketball teams — old Western Kentucky and Chicago Marymount squads — played a modern up-and-down style with lots of outside shooting. “That’s because the funda- mentals haven’t changed,” he said. “Dribbling, rebounding, shooting, things like that. If you look back, defenses haven’t changed as much as people think. We are still revisiting the UCLA press and some of those things people want to still do today. “But what’s really paramount is the attitude, the behavior. Right now, particularly right now in Hermiston, commitment has to be a capital ‘C’. That’s one of the things that’s imperative.” Ego said school grade will have no bearing on playing time, and he wants all four high school teams wearing the same uniform to make promotion through WKH UDQNV PRUH ÀXLG %XW KH¶V also already had conversations with senior point guard Austin Naillon about leadership and setting the example. Naillon has been running with the Bulldogs’ cross country team to get in shape for Ego’s up-tempo system, and Ego said he wants Naillon to be in such good shape when practice starts in November that he’s not tired while conditioning. The hope is that will bleed into the rest of the group, allowing Naillon to lead by example. In addition, Ego hopes to have 6-foot-3 athlete Tre Neal come out, as well as 6-foot-5 Brok Palmer, who was on the team last year. 7KH ¿UVW SUDFWLFH GDWH IRU high school basketball in Oregon is November 16.
