Golding speaking with former player Willie Wright, now a heavily
recruited junior college player.
degree requirements. Now, at
least 30 four-year colleges are
recruiting him for his final
two years of eligibility.
"Willie got a taste of the
good life in Nebraska, and he
wants more," Golding said.
"He was a real celebrity
there. He was mentioned all
the time in the local news and
people were always asking
him for autographs.
"When I first met Willie, he
was silly and immature. Now,
he's grown up. He has
priorities and he has goals
and he knows what he has to
do to achieve his goals.
"This is an example of how
basketball can save a life. I
don't want to just win games
with my kids. I want to be a
part of their lives during and
beyond their high school days.
Hopefully, I can always be
their friend. They have my
home phone number and they
can call .me if they want to
talk.
"I may never win a state
championship, but if I can
help a kid realize a dream by
getting a college scholarship,
it's worth 10 state champion-
ships to me. These are things
people never hear about, but
they're important to me."
Wright agrees that he
would have headed down any
number of dangerous paths
had Golding not intervened.
Now, he's looking at a bright
future.
"In three years, I'll have my
marketing degree and I'll be
trying to play basketball over-
seas or in the NBA," said
Wright, who is taking classes
this semester at Oakland
Community College. "I owe a
lot to Coach Golding. He gave
me a chance to play (at Oak
Park) when other people
would have said no and that
got me headed in the right
direction."
Another young man Gold-
ing has helped is Michael
Hootner, who played sparing-
ly for Oak Park just before
Golding arrived back on the
scene.
Hootner was the manager
of Golding's Oak Park girls
team and he was taught by
Golding as a seventh-grader
at Oak Park Roosevelt Middle
School. Even though he was
only 5 feet 7 inches tall
Hootner desperately wanted
to continue playing
basketball.
So Golding came to the
rescue. Hootner played two
years at La Mesa Junior Col-
lege in California and now
he's in his second year as a
starting guard at Goucher
College in Towson, Md. After
he graduates, Golding said,
Hootner wants to become a
coach.
Besides preaching sports-
manship on the basketball
court, Golding wants his Oak
Park players to conduct them-
selves properly when they're
out of uniform. It's all part of
the plan to prepare them for
life after school.
"We've had some fine young
men on our club since I
started coaching the team
again in 1988," Golding said.
"We talk a lot about the fact
that they're representing
their school and the City of
