Good luck to one of America's premier coaches in any division, Dick Whitmore, as he goes for No. 600 when Colby hosts Bowdoin Saturday.
I've been fortunate to see a number of superb coaches up close in 55 years of watching, writing about and announcing basketball -- from Roy Rubin in my days at LIU to Red Holzman when I covered the Knicks to Steve Donohue in more recent years announcing at Cornell -- but I never saw anyone as knowledgeable or intense than Dick Whitmore in the six years I was privileged to work at Colby.
