More McGinnis
Some more thoughts on Wenatchee boys’ basketball coach Brett McGinnis. I found it pretty weird that athletic director B.J. Kuntz never returned my calls seeking comment on McGinnis’ tenure. That might imply that Kuntz was down on McGinnis, but I ran into Brett at the Wenatchee-Pasco softball game on Friday and he said he had just come from his annual review with Kuntz.”All smiley faces,” he said.I chatted with Gar Jeffers for nearly 45 minutes for that story, and man, that man can spin a yarn like nobody’s business. From his son Hunter’s humble beginning as a basketball player under McGinnis’ tutelage to taking the floor in the 1955 state tournament as a sixth man, I was riveted. I’d pay to hear Gar Jeffers read the phone book.
