    My HS coach, Robert Copley, and LOOOONG time Rockets clock operator passed away today. He was the clock operator for about 50 years.

    Rest easy coach. You helped a ton of boys grow into men and helped good men become better men.

    Nice job on the tribute OP. If you inspired one person, you lived well. RIP coach.

    I always wondered who that was in the telecasts. RIP, and thanks for not cheating like a Utah Jazz timekeeper.
