I was not very good at sports and was horrible when a coach yelled at me. I had a coach who screamed at his players and made fun of me on more than one occasion. I’ll do him a favor and not mention the name. When I became Oregon sports editor for The Associated Press in 1976, Ralph Miller was head coach at Oregon State, Dick Harter at Oregon. Harter was a gruff disciplinarian who would have his players stand near midcourt and stare at the opposition during warmups. Washington’s Marv Harshman had his players wear Groucho Marx masks during warmups in what I thought was a highly clever counter- move. Miller was one of the best coaches of the day. I always felt like a kid being lectured by the old professor every time I would interview him. The fi rst time I talked to him, his response was “You can talk in that ear all day and I won’t hear a word you’re saying.’’ He was deaf in one ear. Miller would sit in the bleachers smoking a cigarette and barking orders while his lead assistant Jimmy Anderson directed practice. Anderson was the re- cruiter who got all that talent to Corvallis. It was quite a ride with Miller’s Bea- vers in the 1981 season. With Gill Coliseum packed and very loud for every game, Oregon State went 26-0 and carried a No. 1 ranking before being blown out at home by Arizona State in the regular season-fi nale. The Beavers were stunned by Kansas State in their NCAA tournament opener. I arrived in Arizona two seasons after Olson had led the Wildcats to a national championship, with player A.J. Bramlett mussing Olson’s famously ever-perfect hair in the celebration. He was a bit aloof personally but I got along well with him. Once he invited me to his offi ce for an interview and over a 45-minute period told me tales of grow- ing up in rural North Dakota. Olson hated playing at McArthur Court, Oregon’s venerable wooden arena and an amazing place to watch a game. Of course, so did a lot of other coaches. For my fi rst 10 years on the job in Port- land, Jack Ramsay was coach of the Trail Blazers. I got to know him well in my fi rst season with the team, since the Bill Walton-led Blazers won the NBA title in six games over Philadelphia. Ramsay coached for a decade but never reached such heights again. He served as color commentator on ESPN radio broadcast of NBA games and I saw him often in the years Steve Nash was in Phoenix. Jack always said hello and asked how I was doing. I also got to know Howard Hobson, who coached Oregon to the fi rst NCAA title in 1939. I interviewed him for the 50th anniversary of that championship. THE OBSERVER & BAKER CITY HERALD — 3B Heat the oil in a wok or heavy, high-walled skillet over high heat. As the wok is heating up, whisk together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, fi sh sauce and sugar until well-combined. Set aside. Add the bell pepper and green beans to the hot wok. Stir-fry for 1 minute. Stir in the onion, garlic and chilies. Cook until fragrant, about 1 more minute. Add in the chicken and stir-fry, breaking apart as you go, until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Pour in the prepared sauce. Continue to cook until the sauce begins to glaze onto the meat, about 1 to 2 more minutes. Stir in the Thai basil leaves and cook until the chicken is completely cooked through, the basil is wilted, and the liquid has mostly evaporated. Serve warm with rice. Taste and add more chili fl akes if it is not adequately spicy. Serves 4. SOIL add more humus to the soil.

Thanks for reading! weed to grow that will The Nash years with the Suns were a blast, largely because of the “seven sec- onds or less’’ style implemented by coach Mike D’Antoni. D’Antoni is a funny guy. Years later, when I told him I was retir- ing, he said, “You should retire. You’re old as dirt.’’ P.J. Carlesimo had some rough sea- sons as Portland coach. Once he and I got into a brief shouting match at the shootaround after one of his players was arrested for smoking marijuana (out of a reconfi gured pop can in a parked car). Before the game that night, he asked me to come to his offi ce where he apologized. Terry Porter, the fl oor leader of so many Blazers victories as a player, called me at 7 a.m. to tell me he was fi red as Suns coach. No one else ever did that for me. There are so many other coaches I could talk about. Rick Adelman was personable and professional as he guided the Blazers to the NBA Finals twice. Arizona coach Sean Miller is good in a news conference setting but has very little contact with the media otherwise. I only had limited dealings with Hur- ley but I like him and what he’s done at Arizona State. He also may have been the best college basketball point guard ever. Bob Baum retired last year after 43 years with The Associated Press, 23 in Portland and the last 20 as senior sports writer based in Phoenix, Arizona. He and his wife Leah live in Island City with their two dogs and four cats.
