End Of An Era – Mike Tuck Retires
- Comments: None
This week, Kevin Cadle, one of British Basketball's greatest coaches will be laid to rest. Back in September of 1998 two colleagues, Deno Tofalos (now deceased), Chris Tofalos and me Mike Shaft published the magazine SHOOTtheHOOP. In that first issue we paid a full tribute to the man himself. It took some time but I finally managed to track down that copy of the magazine. This is part two of that article. Some of the photos are from that original article but others are from more recent times.
It was recently announced that Kevin Cadle, one of British Basketball's greatest coaches had passed away.

So there I am working at The Bay radio station in Lancaster when the phone rings and reception puts it through to the studio and tell me that it's Mark Sharman from Sky Sports. Immediately I think it's someone taking the micky, so I answer, yea this is Mike. A voice at the other end says "this is Mark Sharman from Sky Sports, we're doing some live basketball games and I'm told you're the man to talk to for the commentary".
