If you're 60+, you see the "Bye bye Bliss" subject line and think this is about something else happening to Cornell basketball player Dave Bliss '65 MBA '68, who's coached at a half-dozen colleges (including assistant at Cornell), amasssed 500+ D1 wins, had some close calls with the NCAA rulebook (putting it nicely), was coach at Baylor in the early 2000s when a player shot and killed another player. In the last 5 years, Bliss was coaching high school, charter school and bible college teams. Bob Knight said Bliss had one of the best minds in basketball, pretty good considering Bliss and Mike Krzyzewski both were assistants to Knight at Army.

And if you're in your 30s, you think of the prequel to Saved By The Bell that was set in Indiana.

No, that was Blaine Aston '67. Great game - a Barton Hall sellout.
