Hines adopted the game and kept the spirit of Johnson's competition, while implementing some of the teaching sensibilities he learned from longtime NBA assistant coach Tim Grgurich, whose dedication to basketball is universally revered within the sport.

Coach Grg was/is real good all the way around!

heard Tim Grg wore a Barbary coast polo all the time.

My dad had the same one but it was the Gold Coast shirt. That thing was comfortable as hell.

Met Coach Grg, at a Henderson Port of Sub, 15 years ago.
I said, hello to him and he smiled back at me. Nice guy.
