The new coach of the Atlantic City Seagulls has never missed the playoff's in 12 seasons and was named Coach of the year winning the summer-league Pro-Am championships in 1990-1991 & 1992 Ross a native of Raleigh N.C., formerly coached the Raleigh Cougars, reaching the USBL "finals" in 1997 before losing to Kevin Mackey's Seagulls on a last-second shot. Mackey and Ross were selected as co coaches for the Korean Basketball League in Seoul Korea Ross with SBS Stars and Mackey joined Samsung ,
I like his style of play and the way he handles
his players : they take a professional approach to the game
and play both sides of the court in terms of offense and defense he reminds me of uhm smiled Mackey, me'
I nominated Ross to take over my program because he is a solid coach with good leadership skills and motivational techniques
I have come to know Ross as a hard working coach with a no nonsense approach to developing guys
and preparing them to reach their potential.
The seagulls called time out with 9 seconds remaining and our
basketball team down by two points and our ball
taking it out at
halfcourt.
''Lamar coachRoss said,
you drive the lane strong
for the tie but if the trap comes Mike
you come of the pick and roll to the outside
3 pt area for
the win''
I heard this while sitting practically
next to the coach at the
/press scorer's
table as i watched the play unfold ,
Lamar Greer drove the lane and was
doubled so he passed it out
behind the three
pt area to USBL's 2 time
MVP ' Mike Lloyd
right in front of me , than arched a high 30
foot 3 point shot
into the basket
hitting nothing but net for the game winner 122-
121

---Rick Ross

so its
really no big deal '' only a big deal when
we miss 'em in
practice.
