In the summer of 1969, Dr. Howard Reynolds moved to Florida from Kentucky to accept a teaching position at JC. In April of the following year, he was named athletic director, following the resignation of interim director Charles Sutherland. When Reynolds took over, the financial status of the athletic program was shaky. We already had commitments made when I came to there wasn ' t much I could do about that, he said. But Reynolds did take measures to improve the financial situation of his program for the future. He told the Board of Trustees that he needed more money, but that he couldn ' t justify it until he got his department organized. We curtailed some of the road trips, which are very expensive, he ex- plained. The basketball team had gone to three or four tournaments before Christmas. These cost a lot of money. Reynolds also changed the supplements the coaching staff was receiving. Most of the money seemed to be going for coaching supplements, Reynolds recalled. Our coaches were far and away the highest paid around. Something like 40% of the athletic funds were going to them. The basketball coach, Jim Tanner at that time was receiving $1980 a season for his coaching duties. The baseball coach, Mel Edgerton was getting $1720. Golf coach Ray Dougherty, was getting $1564, and tennis coach Harris McGirt received $1460. Reynolds worked out a plan that would continue to give Edgerton, Dougherty, and McGirt that amount. The stipulation was however, that if and when they left, their successors would receive $1000 for baseball, and $500 for golf and tennis. All three are still at their coaching positions. When Tanner resigned, it was agreed that his successor would receive no pay, but would be given release time (a lighter class load at no re- duction in pay). When the Board saw that the effort was being made to shape up they gave Reynolds an additional $23,810, bringing the total to about $54,000 per season. With this new money Reynolds was able to begin an expanded recruit- ing program. Among the new playert he was able to find for the cage team was Morris Tampa. He was the player who turned things around for us, Reynolds said, Morris graduated from high school in 1966. He was a draftsnrian for Pratt-Whitney here locally, and was playing on their team in an indust- rial league. He saw that we were building a winning program, and decid- ed to come here. But with Tanner ' s resignation, they were still in search of a new coach. Reynolds discovered that Bob Wright had moved to South Florida. He had known Wright as a rival coach in Kentucky and was aware that Wright had never had a losing season as a head coach. He was the outstanding high school coach in Kentucky, he said. Bob ' s team was the state champion in 1961 and runner-up in ' 62. He also coached four years at Moore State University and in his final season, missed going to the IMCAA tournament when he lost in a playoff game. Wright did not spoil his winning record when he took over the largely unsuccessful Pacer team. In his first year, he guided them to a 15-10 mark, the first winning season in their history. Currently, Wright and his charges have compiled a 13-4 record and are in a hotly contested battle for the conference championship. I just hope we can keep going the way we ' ve been drawls Wright, with a soft Kentucky accent, if we can continue our winning ways, we ' ll be okay. By Doug Sidewand Sports Editor BEACHCOMBER
