It occurred to me during my morning walk that doing 400 of anything is an endurance test. There is a club of a few people that have coached 400 basketball games. The fraternity is much, much smaller when the admittance requirement is winning 400 basketball games.
My friend Bullwinkle is 400+ now. He probably thinks back on scores of games that if "this" would have just happened he would have a whole lot more wins. And if he is honest, he probably knows there are a few in the 400 that should have gone the other way.
I think the real endurance test is surviving the opinions of administrators, players, parents and fans for all these years. Next to that magic trick, performing the 400 win feat is cake.
I didn't see number 400, but I was in the gym, helping coach another team, when he got number 1. I'm pretty sure Earl, Betty and one of his sisters were there, also. Maybe that is our own little endurance test.
Way to go Tibe...er...Bullwinkle.
