I’m talking, of course, of the Best Beard Award in the coaching ranks. While Mike O’Shea has rightly dominated this category for almost a decade, we have several strong candidates who could take home the coveted beard hardware this season:
The Gray “Drake”: Corey Mace
The “Get Off My Lawn”: Dave Dickenson
The Ultra-Dad: Bob Dyce
The Disappointed Dad: Ryan Dinwiddie
A little off topic but still on the subject of beards. I’ve been watching a lot of Youtube reactions to the movie Miracle. One of the pieces of trivia that the movie didn’t get right was the actor playing Ken Morrow didn’t have a beard in the movie and that was Morrow’s defining feature in his career (unlike players now).
There is a rare clip that resurfaced of the movie makers and Kurt Russell talking to Brooks about the beard (video is cued or start at 18:15)
