I never knew Bobby. The first time I remember watching him play basketball was at the Audi in 1959.My dad was his coach. I remember asking him after he left Prep in 1963:"who is the best basketball player you ever coached?" Bear in mind that dad coached two future NBA players during his prior tenure at Farrell h.s. He answered without hesitation: "Bobby Ward."
