I played against Coach Ricky in HS. He was competitive, had self-confidence, and never was arrogant...that was 35 freaking years ago. People change, especially when successful which includes Coach Ricky. Multiple gold balls in basketball and footballs, your name being brought up for college basketball coaching vacancies can make you a different person than you were in HS at MBA. I've watched him from stands and bleachers now for many years, and lately he seems to me of showing an offensive attitude of superiority during games, which IMO (my assessment) is arrogant. I do agree with you KW on his work ethic, knowledge and ways to motivate 16-18 yr olds.
