http://0rz.tw/I9WIX Pete Carril was working the room, shaking hands like he was running for office. 某個場合、Pete Carril教練在室內和人握手，像是在辦公室與人洽談生意一樣。 It wasn’t about politics. It was about coaching. 這不是一個政治人物，這是一位傳奇教練 Carril, Jim Phelan and Debbie Ryan — all longtime college basketball coaches — were presented Thursday with the fourth annual Joe Lapchick Character Awards. Carril, Jim Phelan and Debbie Ryan三位大學執教多年的教練獲頒第四屆Joe Lapchick Character Awards.的殊榮這個獎是頒給在操守跟執教能力都足以進入名人堂的教練 The banquet room at Chelsea Piers on the Hudson River was packed with those who played for, worked with or just admired the recipients of an award named for the Hall of Fame coach from St. John’s and the New York Knicks who has always been considered one of coaching’s great examples of character. 這個宴會參與者多半是跟Joe Lapchick在St. John或是尼克隊共事過或是親近的人，也有那些慕名而來的與會者。 Almost 40 years after his death, Lapchick is still someone who is praised for what he did decades ago. 在他過世將近40年，這位傳奇教練仍被視為教練界的典範。 “Joe Lapchick set the standard known for the way he coached the game,” said Ryan, who was the women’s coach at Virginia for 34 years, winning 739 games with three Final Four appearances. “It was not necessarily the skills he taught, but how he handled his players. That’s why he was a great coach.” 受獎者之一的女教練Debbie Ryan說『Joe Lapchick用執教比賽樹立了四海皆知的名聲，這不是關於他有多會思考，這是在於他如何塑造他帶的球員。這是為什麼他偉大的地方。』 Debbie Ryan在Virginia執教了34年，贏得了739場的比賽帶領球隊三度闖進final four Carril, who coached Princeton for 29 years and won 514 games and 13 Ivy League championships, had 25 or so former players at the luncheon and stories filled the room. Carril教練，執教Princeton大學贏得了514場的比賽跟13個Ivy聯盟冠軍, 與會者大約有25人都跟他及他的傳奇故事有關 “It’s been the experience of a lifetime for me,” said former Princeton player Geoff Petrie, the Sacramento Kings’ president of basketball operations. “It is one of those things in life, if you’re lucky to have it happen to you that you have someone who goes from being a coach to being a mentor to an adviser to a friend for the ages. That’s been my relationship with Pete.” 其中一個Princeton大學的球員叫Geoff Petrie，說到『一生只有一次的幸運，這個人可以是你的教練、老師、顧問、朋友這就是我們倆之間的關係。』 Geoff Petrie跟Carril一起創造了90年代末到2000年初那隻『籃球史上五人一體』的國王隊，至今他們仍為了第二代新生的國王而努力... Phelan was at Mount St. Mary’s for 49 years, winning 830 games. After talking about his relationship with his players, Phelan recounted how long he and Carril have known each other. 另一個受獎人Phelan在Mount St. Mary執教了49年，贏得了830比賽他談到他的子弟兵時說道他跟Carril認識彼此的時間 “We never played against each other in college, but when we were in the service after school we did meet on the court,” said Phelan, wearing one of his trademark bow ties. “I was with the Marines based in Quantico and Pete was in the Army at Indiantown Gap. Our teams met twice during our time in the service. We got them twice.” 『當球員時，我們在大學沒交過手，但當雙方都執教大學球隊後我們有碰面過。』他打著他招牌的碟形領帶說『兩次』『交手兩次我們都解決掉他們。』 Former NBA player and coach Fred “Mad Dog” Carter talked lovingly about Phelan. 外號瘋狗的 Fred Carter談起Phelan充滿了喜悅。 “He found me in summer league in Philadelphia,” Carter said. “He decided to take a chance on me and he made sure I had the experience of going to college. He would check in on me. Forty-six years later he’s still checking. I owe everything to my surrogate father.” 『他在夏季聯盟發掘了我，他決定在我身上投入心力也認為我的經歷能使我適應大學生活，他關懷我任何事。46年過後，他依然關心著我。我有今天全要歸功於Phelan。』 Ryan grew up in New Jersey and her father took her along one day for a business breakfast meeting with Carril. 在New Jersey長大的Ryan跟Carril有著一面之緣。 “I was in high school and I didn’t know what I was going to do with my life, ” she said. “That day Coach started talking about his passion for coaching. He was so instrumental in my starting in this career.” 『當時我高中，不知道長大要做什麼，Carril跟我說為什麼當教練這麼有趣使他投注多少熱情，他很大程度啟發了我開始我的執教生涯。』 Since her retirement, Ryan has become a fundraiser against pancreatic cancer, a disease she was diagnosed with in 2002. A form of cancer with a single-digit survival rate, Ryan rips off a list of those who have succumbed to pancreatic cancer, with Steve Jobs being the most recent addition. 她在2002被診斷出胰臟癌，是癌症中殺手中的殺手退休後Ryan致力於推廣防治胰臟癌的基金會她致力於挽救生命，與剛把Steve Jobs一起帶走的病魔對抗。 Jenny Boucek, Ryan’s former player at Virginia and now an assistant coach with the WNBA champion Seattle Storm, quickly summed up her feelings about Ryan. Jenny Boucek是Ryan執教過的球員，現任WNBA冠軍隊Seattle Storm的助教簡單評論了Ryan “She doesn’t have character,” Boucek said, “she is character.” 『她個人沒有什麼值得典範的事蹟，她本身就是典範。』 There was one brief moment of basketball strategy, however. Carril was talking about his famous Princeton offense in which teams work patiently for a good shot and that often comes on a backdoor cut. Many high-profile opponents have left the court wondering what just happened as a team with less athletic ability either beat them or threw quite a scare into them. Carril談論著他創造的普林斯頓進攻這個強調投射跟走位的來彌補自身體能不足的籃球戰術。那個讓很多更高大對手摸不清楚為什麼輸給比他們弱小對手的戰術 “When we started running that a long time ago,” Carril said, “I just told my players it was judicious use of our time.” Carril:『沒這麼複雜，很久之前，當我們一開始使用它的時候，我只是跟球員說這是一個明智的、可以流傳很久的戰術。』 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.168.78.140 ※ 編輯: Cousins15 來自: 218.168.78.140 (11/23 19:31)
