My brother-in-law, Pete Norman, is the athletic director and basketball coach at Highland Community College, in Freeport, Illinois. He has simply amassed one of the best coaching records in the nation for Junior College (JC) basketball, and this year he’s coaching a juggernaut. The Highland Cougars won the William Bear tournament last night, 101-69, beating teams from Columbus, OH, earlier in the day (by 40 points) — the game Kris and I saw — and taking the championship game from a team from the central plains of Illinois. The Cougars are undefeated, and play the whole floor and the whole game: passing, defending, rebounding, shooting, you name it, they’ve got it.
