http://www.slate.com/id/2134286/ Funny article on Slate.com about bad coaches. It has an anecdote about Sura from his high school days: The Absent-Minded (Assistant) Coach. Scranton Prep's basketball team was preparing for a playoff game against a team from Wilkes-Barre. Prep's head coach saw fit to send his assistant coach down Interstate 81 to scout the opposition, which had one meaningless regular season game left on its schedule. "We're screwed," the assistant coach said on his return. Then he launched into a litany of the many basketball virtues possessed by Bobby Sura, Grand Army of the Republic High School's all-state guard. He wasn't exaggerating. Sura went on to be Sam Cassell's backcourt mate at Florida State, where he earned all-ACC honors, and he is currently in the midst of a solid, if unspectacular, NBA career. In high school, Sura dominated. He could jump; he could shoot; he could handle the ball; he had one hell of a mullet. "Sura beat Bishop Hoban High School by himself," the coach concluded. "I don't know how we're going to stop him." The players, a few of whom were exchanging anxious glances during the coach's speech, all now stared straight at their captain, a three-sport letterman with a fair shot at all-state himself. He shrugged and spoke up, "That's great, Coach. But we're playing Hoban."
