When they presented me with the 1990 National “Coach of the Year” for NAIA Tennis, I tried to give it to Coach Fred Kniffen of the University of Texas at Tyler.
Fred had a firm rule in 1990 that no one rode in the van without their seat belts on. No exceptions.
En route from Tyler to Kansas City, one of the two team vans ran off a 35-foot embankment.
All belted, there was one minor injury.
