It was 100 degrees on the field at the Linc (NCAA Championships ('05?).<br />What Coach didn't know was that the water bottle was filled with Gatorade! <br /><br />Holy sticky mess! TB Jr took that all in stride. <br /><br />Good luck to Coach, and I think Princeton will be left in capable hands.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09343536492774356503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6252058096186566346.post-62548702858109243282009-06-11T23:15:34.237-04:002009-06-11T23:15:34.237-04:00Gil Gibbs (Montclair H.S.) and Bill Tierney, two o...Gil Gibbs (Montclair H.S.) and Bill Tierney, two of the finest men to ever grace Lax sidelines in New Jersey. Both raised the game to a whole new level, and to what it is today. Brilliant.<br />Bill Tierney loves his"kids". He is always there for those who need him.

I'm not sure Denver will be ruling anything in a few years, but Tierney deserves to move on with his life.

Tierny, along with friends Tony Seaman and Dave Cottle, ushered in the 'stall' game. Taking advantage of the ultra ball control that the new equipment seemed to deliver with each new model, Tierney took the fastest game on two feet and shot it dead right between the eyes. Yes, he won, but the price the game paid Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6252058096186566346.post-59052357913184732512009-06-09T14:00:32.006-04:002009-06-09T14:00:32.006-04:00Coach Tierney is a Gem.

We raised money for a Golden Bear Statue (school mascot) and the lead parent behind this honor called Coach Tierney and asked if he could donate a jersey for my friend. Not only did Coach T send a jersey he had it signed by the team, sent a Princeton helmet and wrote one ofLax007https://www.blogger.com/profile/00319930848993801297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6252058096186566346.post-60068213798316575402009-06-09T11:28:27.451-04:002009-06-09T11:28:27.451-04:00Thank You Coach Tierney.
