From Page 9 coached for 15 years including stints at Loyola and Notre Dame. He compiled a record of 87-45 at Chicago’s Gordon Tech. In a press release submitted by Augustana College, where his son, Grey, is head men’s basketball coach, Giovanine said, “I am honored and humbled to receive this recognition. The tangible measure for success in coaching is wins and losses. More importantly, however, were the hearts and minds of young men that I tried to develop to be better people, husbands and fathers after they graduated. You can instill a work ethic and attention to detail that prepares a young man for life.” Chips was simply an outstanding coach, his teams known for their winning ways. But, what I most admire

From Page 9 Rivers Conference championship in 2008. Overall, Ohlson’s Storm posted a 32-27 record in six years, finishing 3-6 this fall.

about Chips is his genuine love for the game and teaching youth how to play. I’ve seen him work meticulously at summer camps with aspiring players on the proper mechanics for shooting. I like to call him the Shot Doctor. This is what lifetime achievement is really all about, keeping the game alive in others. Today’s campers along with his former players from years alike continue to benefit from Chips’ lifetime achievement in basketball and the game of life. • Wanted to give a shootout to two of my favorite athletes I’ve covered in these BCR Sports pages for their upcoming nuptials. Good luck Scott Roseberg and Gwen Holmes of Princeton. Couldn’t think of a better match. Kevin Hieronymus is the BCR Sports Editor. Contact him at khieronymus@ bcrnews.com loved coaching football. I’ve coached a lot of things in my time. But now I guess I get to coach coaches on a fulltime basis,” he said. “It’s time to move on to another chapter in my life.” Ohlson said he assumes he’ll be involved in the hiring process of his successor. He told his assistants his plans to step down, but said he is unaware of any interest on staff for the job at this time.
