Turning that dubious honor into motivation and listening to his father's words, "Master the basics, they'll lead you to greatness." two years later for the same coach who told him "You are a waste of my time" he played varsity point guard. Mastering the basics has led Ed to the floor of Allen Field House, home of the University of Kansas Jayhawks. As a tutor of a few players he was able to play pick up games with the team.
