ArtMix Creating Inclusive, Artistic Opportunities Writer / Jon Shoulders . Photography provided

According to the staff at ArtMix, there’s no such thing as the inability to be an artist.

Founded in the late 1970s, Indianapolisbased ArtMix (formerly VSA Indiana) has become a statewide organization providing inclusive artistic programs and special projects for those with and without disabilities.

“I’ve never met a person with a disability that wasn’t extremely capable,” says Linda Wisler, vice president of programming.

“We’re here to help them find a way to be creative and expressive.”

The ArtMix Artist in Residency program sends trained artists into school classrooms statewide to implement art-based lesson plans that meet the needs of K-12 students

with disabilities. Artists receive special training from the ArtMix staff prior to working directly with students, and the program typically lasts a minimum of six weeks. Participating areas include Marion County as well as Muncie, Franklin and Logansport among others.

Students aged 16 to 22 with and without disabilities can participate in the Urban Artisans internship program, which provides an environment at the ArtMix studios on North Delaware Street for the development of vocational skills needed when transitioning from school into the workplace. Interns are given school credit, and are paid minimum wage in the summer or stipends during the school year. A few galleries and gift shops in Broad Ripple, including Plenty Lifestyle on 54th Street and The Bungalow on Westfield Boulevard, sell art pieces created atBrip.com / SEPTEMBER 2017 / BROAD RIPPLE MAGAZINE / 7

through the program.

“A lot of the students in the program don’t go on to college, so they need those basic skills needed when taking on a job,” says Katie Deadmond, manager of community outreach. “The goal with the Urban Artisans program is not to create artists per se, but it’s learning how to be on time, be a good coworker in any workplace, how to be a team player and even learning steps you can take to still be a productive member of a team when you’re having a bad day.”

In 2015 the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities selected the Urban Artisans program from more than 285 nominations for the National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award. Wisler traveled to the White House with intern participant Meghan McNeal to receive the award from Michelle Obama.

“It was a thrill, and we were only the second Indiana program to receive the award,” Wisler says. “I think Meghan was more excited to meet Sasha and Malia than Michelle.”

Ceramics, painting, music and even drama instruction are offered through the ArtMix Community Arts classes, which are typically eight weeks in duration and are aimed at all ages and skill levels. Scholarships are available, and tuition is on a sliding scale determined by household income.

“It’s an ongoing opportunity for people of all abilities to come here and be creative and self-expressive,” says Gayle Holtman, president and CEO of ArtMix. “We do five of the eight-week sessions each year. There’s a lot of visual art, and we’ve done yoga and music. This past summer we did a scene from A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”

Displayed throughout the ArtMix facility’s hallways are paintings, sculptures and crafts made in the Urban Artisan program and Community Arts classes, some of which are for sale. The studio spaces feature adaptive equipment, including adjustable tables and an accommodative potter’s wheel for wheelchair access.

“Sometimes the disability is not all about a deficit with a person, but a deficit in the environment,” Holtman says. “And in a given environment there are adjustments and modifications that can be made to make that disability nonexistent.”

Wisler says volunteers are always welcome, and the organization holds volunteer information sessions on the second Tuesday of every month.

“My goal is to get people here, and once they’re here, they can find the right avenue for them,” Wisler says. “Once there are 10 or 12 people in a room, they can build a community and get to know each other and make art.”

Returning to Indianapolis after finishing his master’s degree in architecture from the University of Texas at Austin, Michael Bricker arrived just in time to become involved in a critical question when the RCA Dome was being demolished, “What is going to be done with all of that material?”

The material in question was the 15 acres of durable fabric, which had been used as the roof.

Maryanne O’Malley first posed this key question. What was to happen to this material? The answer, after some interrogatories, was “nothing”, for there was no plan for the material.

As O’Malley and Bricker began their ideation process of what to do with the material, they focused upon a process for developing something with local design talent. People for Urban Progress (PUP) was born.

Bricker and his team, which includes his twin sister, Jessica, were pivotal in civic engagement of the concept of sustainability.

“We were really struggling to get any support or buy in for thinking about the potential for this resource,” shares Bricker, who is a Cathedral High School graduate. “We reached out to the newly

formed office of sustainability and were asked, ‘Why are you doing this? What’s in it for you?’ We hope now that approach has changed.”

Over a brief period, Bricker has witnessed a shift with major organizations asking themselves, ‘What will happen with [insert X here] resource?’ and thoughtfully considering their architectural waste. A big contribution to the city is the utilization of these resources and how they may relate to the history of the city.

“Our products are a memory. There are a few simultaneous wins of our work, yet we stumbled upon starting a new company amorphous as we set out to do the right thing,” says Bricker, whose efforts resulted in salvaging 13 of the 15 acres of material.

What is amazing is that the PUP products tell a story. Being made from the roof of a former building that played host to not only Colts games, but to amazing performers such as The Rolling Stones, U2 and Pink Floyd, is nostalgic and fashionable.

The PUP founders were looking for a company to take on this project and they became the company they were looking for.

PUP is all about design and reuse. PUP has uniquely positioned themselves to encourage the de-mystifying of design, with an approachable feel and valuable aesthetic for design. PUP, essentially, rescues discarded materials and redesigns them for public benefit.

10 / BROAD RIPPLE MAGAZINE / SEPTEMBER 2017 / atBRip.com

Another example of approaching art is the PUP cooperative project of salvaging Bush Stadium seating, with installations at bus stops. This was done in collaboration with Brian McCutcheon, now of Ignition Arts.

“This allows for people to rethink transit and it shows that someone is investing in that infrastructure,” Bricker says.

“The team designed a cool base for them and now the seats have new and meaningful value, ‘attainable, approachable. and sustainable’ is what we want our work to be about.”

PUP aspires to be good stewards of the material they salvage, creating long lasting products for the community.

They are selective about what they allow to have happen with the material, such as the five miles of banners from the Super Bowl they acquired.

Recently, PUP has relocated to the Central State campus alongside Brian McCutcheon of Ignition Arts, and Project One, another frequent collaborator of PUP. Now that their offices are within shouting distance of one another, one can only imagine what is yet to be created and imagined.

WHAT HAPPENED TO GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP? FORMER HIGH SCHOOL, COLLEGE AND PRO REFS SAY IT’S GETTING WORSE Writer / Matt Roberts Photographer / Brian Brosmer

In 2015, two high school football players in Texas attacked a referee during a game, with one of them knocking him to the ground and the other spearing him in the back with his helmet. A coach later admitted ordering the attack due to “bad calls”.

Last year in Beech Grove, a youth football coach was arrested for assaulting a referee during a game between two teams of second-graders. For as long as there have been competitive sports, fans, coaches and players have criticized officials. But there is

a growing sense that anger at bad — or even just adverse — calls has slipped the leash and mutated into abuse and, in some cases, violence.

Chris Purvis is a seasoned lacrosse official who sits on the board of the Indiana Lacrosse Officials Association.

“Sportsmanship has absolutely gotten worse,” he says. “What’s really alarming to me is the behavior of young players. They’re disrespectful not only to officials, but to their opponents. Kids will make an obvious foul, and they’re throwing up their hands, like ‘Are you kidding me?’ Meanwhile, the TownePost.com / SEPTEMBER 2017 / INDY METRO

coach isn’t reinforcing what they did wrong.

He’s saying the official was wrong, so that just perpetuates the behavior.”

Purvis says that summer travel league tournaments are even worse.

“I worked a summer game this year where parents were literally fighting in the stands, and the police were called,” Purvis says. “For a contest between eight-year-olds. We’ve lost a lot of officials who just say, ‘I don’t need this.’"

While participation in youth sports is exploding, the pool of qualified officials is

decreasing. The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) estimates that for every 10 new officials, only two will sign up for a third season. A dwindling roster of officials means a constant struggle to staff games.

Mark Baltz has spent the past 50 years officiating at every level, from high school and college basketball and football to 25 years as an NFL head linesman.

“I mean, would you (become a referee)?” Baltz says. “Put in all this time, buy the equipment, do the study, and go to (officials’) meetings, for 50 bucks a game?

And the problem only gets worse at more intense competition for higher stakes. Baltz recalls a recent sectional game he watched.

“Youth leagues and their legal people are insisting that the officials be licensed,” Baltz adds. “So, it’s supply and demand. They’re getting young kids licensed, but that doesn’t mean they know what they’re doing. They have no experience, but they’re out there doing youth league games with two officials watching two teams of 11.

It’s impossible.”

“A fight broke out on the floor,” he says. “Parents started jumping in from the stands. Security did a great job, and it could have been a lot worse, but it was a large school sectional between traditional rivals, and some of the officials only had

three or four years of tournament experience. If you haven’t worked that type of game, you’re going to be overwhelmed.”

In April of this year, NFHS embarked on a national recruitment campaign focused on encouraging high school athletes to stay involved in sports by getting their officiating license.

But most areas of the country have continued to see a reduction in the number of people willing to put on a striped shirt.

More than 20 states have found it necessary to enact criminal penalties against fans who attack referees. In Kentucky, it's now a Class D felony to “intentionally cause or attempt to cause physical injury to a sports official.” Similar legislation was proposed in Indiana but has yet to be passed.

Some leagues have addressed the sportsmanship deficit by increasing the severity of penalties for bad behavior. Indianapolis Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) has imposed a policy of disqualification for players or coaches on the first technical foul for high school games.

Maybe the problem is rooted in the overall coarsening of public behavior or the general lack of tolerance in society.

“I think it’s the pressure,” Purvis says.

“Pressure on players and pressure on parents. Everybody wants their kid to be a Division I star.”

“How did you spot the trap? Thompson asked.

In 1971, Carmel resident James Thompson was in Vietnam where he was assigned as an advisor to the field maintenance unit of the Vietnamese Air Force division. The Chinook helicopter rotor blades were made of a composite sandwich material that was a fiberglass over a honeycomb and it had the bad habit of unbonding. Though they had a test set to check for issues, it often went on the fritz. One day, Thompson was tasked with finding a helicopter pilot to fly the test set from Bien Hoa Air Base to the Army’s depot ship at Vung Tau for repairs.

“It’s an old VC trick in which they set up butterflies,” the pilot explained, using his hands to imitate the broad wings of a butterfly.

“They’re the size of two ping-pong paddles and painted to blend in with the grass. When the rotor downwash hits them, they collapse like this.” He moved his palms from a spread-out position to a praying pose. “That sets off Claymore mines all around the landing zone that detonate horizontally, making mincemeat out of a Huey and everyone inside it.”

“I located a seasoned army pilot on his third tour in Vietnam,” Thompson says. On their way back from Vung Tau, they got a radio call asking if they could pick up an American chaplain and drop him at a leper colony to distribute food and clothing. They agreed, so after dropping off cargo for the Vietnam Air Force, they picked up the chaplain and two security guards.

“I’d brought along my camera and was snapping photos of the lush, green countryside,” recalls Thompson, who grew suspicious as they approached the leper colony and didn’t see a soul in sight. “It seemed odd since usually a mob of people is waiting to swarm the chopper to receive the precious cargo.”

“You clearly saved our bacon today,” said Thompson, who had a wife and two young daughters back home.

It seems it was radio communication that gave the Viet Cong the chance to set the trap.

“The VC listened on every frequency, so when they heard that we were going to drop off the test set and pick up the chaplain and his supplies, that gave them plenty of time to set up the mines,” says Thompson, who was in Vietnam for just one year. During that year, he got shot at a handful of times, always when he was in a chopper.

“They were lousy shots. They always hit the tail rotor,” Thompson says. “The near-landing at the leper colony was the only time I ever was in real peril over there.”

As they were letting down, suddenly the pilot pulled up on the collective control so violently that it threw the chaplain and his guards to the floor. Thompson reflexively reached to grab one of the Despite the peril, Thompson says he enjoyed his tour in Vietnam. guard’s M-16 rifles from flying out the open side door.

“I grew to really like the Vietnamese,” Thompson says. “They’re “What was that about?” Thompson called to the pilot on his headset. clever, wonderful, industrious people.”

“The landing zone was mined,” the pilot responded.

The close brush with death left Thompson shaky, though even as they returned to Bien Hoa he thought, “Hey, this is a war zone. This kind of thing is expected.”

Thompson, who was raised in Indianapolis, attended Arsenal Tech High School, and received a degree in aeronautical engineering from Purdue, served 23 years in the Air Force before retiring as a lieutenant colonel in 1980.

“I’m a very lucky guy to be here,” Thompson says. “Had I used Nevertheless, back at the base, Thompson was eager to learn details. another pilot that day, I would probably not have survived.”

Invigorate your lawn in the fall with Total Lawn Care. TLC has great season grasses in central Indiana, and the plant naturally develops its root system and stores energy in the fall and early winter. Turf care in the fall sets up the lawn for the next season.

Proper fall fertility helps the turf plant recover from the summer stress and store energy in its root system over winter. This allows for a healthier, greener lawn in the spring. We have heavy clay soils throughout central Indiana. Fall is a great time to aerate, over seed or add an organic boost. The aeration allows for soil movement to relieve compaction in your clay soils and to increase macropores in the soil.

Fall is also the best time to do any seeding in your lawn and to develop your turf for the coming year. An organic boost can help with building the soil by developing organic matter in the soil. Increased organic matter helps provide the nutrients required by the turf and helps build sustainability of the lawn. A quality weed control in the fall helps reduce the weed population in the spring.

NEW APP-BASED DELIVERY SERVICE GAINING MOMENTUM IN INDIANAPOLIS & BEYOND Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing

A new app-based, peer-to-peer delivery service is gaining momentum in Indianapolis. Roadie, a less expensive, more convenient way to ship items of all shapes and sizes, is also a fabulous way for folks looking to make a few extra bucks as it’s designed for those who are already headed in a specific direction to pick up and deliver items along their route.

“It’s similar to Uber and Lyft, but it moves things rather than people,” says Kelly Bailey, who has worked as a Roadie drive for about a year. “Let’s say you’re taking a road trip to the Ozarks. Just open up your Roadie app, plug in your destination, and find out if there are any gigs available along the way.”

Marc Gorling, founder and CEO of Roadie, got the idea for his app-based shipping company when he was working on a home renovation project and wanted to find an economical and efficient way to ship boxes of tile to his house from a few hours away.

“What if someone was already headed in this direction?” he thought. “If they were coming this way anyway and were willing to transport those tiles for a fee, we would both stand to gain.”

A customer who has an item to send simply posts a gig online or on their phone. Then Roadie matches them with a driver who is already going that direction. Senders not only save money on shipping but on not having to box or package their items.

Plus, they enjoy personalized pick-up and delivery service.

TownePost.com / SEPTEMBER 2017 / INDY METRO

Bailey notes that Roadie is a great way to earn extra cash when you’re going on vacation. It’s also ideal for college students who need extra bucks for books or coffee or retirees who may appreciate making a little extra dough during their post-career travels.

“It’s not a full-time job, by any means, but it’s a convenient way to make some extra cash,” says Bailey, noting that thanks to money earned from Roadie, her daughter will graduate from Purdue this year debt-free. “I’m hyped about the service — not just for the company but also for the community. There are many opportunities for residents in Indianapolis to make money driving for Roadie.”

For those interested in becoming a driver, all it takes is to sign up, create gig alerts and make offers on gigs you can take. Convenient and easy, drivers set their own schedule and earn rewards such as roadside assistance and free food from Waffle House.

MEET "CLONY" DUNGY MIKE BOSTIC BEARS A STRIKING RESEMBLANCE TO COLTS HALL OF FAME COACH

INDY METRO / SEPTEMBER 2017 / TownePost.com

Mike Bostic shows off his "Colts Cave" with his sons Emerson and Michael.

Writer / Jon Shoulders Photographer / Brian Brosmer

The similarities between Mike Bostic and former Indianapolis Colts head coach Tony Dungy are far from strictly physical.

It is the striking physical likeness that initially prompted Bostic to don the guise of what he calls Clony Dungy for Colts home games and special events like the Pro Football Ultimate Fan Association’s (PFUFA) annual four-day summer event in Canton, Ohio. But the coaching philosophies and professionalism Dungy brought to bear as a coach provided the true inspiration for Bostic — not only in assuming the appearance of the beloved football figure, who served as Colts coach from 2002 through 2008, but also in his own 15-year career as a sports coach.

says Bostic, who began his coaching career alongside his former tennis coach at Lawrence North High School before coaching tennis at Carmel High School from 2000 to 2015. “He put the players first, and he put his family first. He based his coaching on principles that I could really relate to. It’s kind of a tribute to him and all he did for Indianapolis.”

he cut up a sweater to resemble a sweater vest and transformed a pair of his wife’s earmuffs into a makeshift headset.

“It was hysterical seeing people’s reactions,” Bostic recalls. “A few years later my wife surprised me with Colts season tickets.

When we were leaving the first preseason game, some lady that passed me on the street said, ‘Hey, you look like Dungy!’

I wasn’t even dressed like him. I’ve been going to every game since, for the last four seasons, dressed like coach Dungy, and it’s just a blast. I get a lot of double takes.”

Something about Dungy’s successful coaching approach, which led to a Super Bowl championship in 2007, must have rubbed off on Bostic. The northeast Indianapolis native and Ball State University grad won eight state championships as head During Bostic’s first trip to Canton for the annual PFUFA event, Dungy happened to coach during his 15 years coaching tennis be speaking at a local church nearby. Bostic for the Carmel Greyhounds. ended up attending the speaking event, and was afterwards finally able to shake In 2009, Bostic accompanied his sons the hand of the man he admires – and Emerson, 14, and Michael, 12, to the resembles – so much.

Indianapolis Zoo’s annual Halloween “It’s more than just a costume for me, ZooBoo event and, on a whim, decided to because when I was coaching I really tried to throw together an impromptu Tony Dungy “Last year I got to meet him again at the emulate how he approached his profession,” costume. To approximate the Dungy look, Steelers game on Thanksgiving,” Bostic says.

TownePost.com / SEPTEMBER 2017 / INDY METRO

“He’s been really great. He follows me on social media, and he’s a good sport about it.

I told him that it’s fun for me, but it’s also in honor of a great coach and a great person.”

This year marks Bostic’s twentieth as a physical education teacher at Forest Dale Elementary School, and in 2015 he decided to retire from coaching tennis to free up time with his family. The Clony Dungy persona isn’t his only family-oriented hobby these days. When his basement flooded last year, Bostic decided to renovate the space into what he calls a Colts Cave, including a painstakingly detailed, smallscale replica of Lucas Oil Stadium. With no woodworking experience, the diehard Colts fan studied countless photos of the stadium, bought the necessary materials and got busy.

“There’s still stuff I want to add to it, like figures of the entire Super Bowl roster from the ‘06-‘07 championship team,” he says. “That’ll be a good winter project to go down there and work on that. It’s a nice stress relief.”

That’s only one of several ongoing projects that keep Bostic occupied these days. A few years back, he fashioned a Lego figurine to resemble Dungy for he and his kids to play with. They began taking staged photos of what they affectionately called Lego Clony Dungy, and a request from a colleague prompted a huge idea for the tiny figurine.

“A coworker of mine at school said she was going to Texas to see her son graduate from the Air Force, and asked to take the

Lego Dungy and take pictures around San Antonio,” Bostic says. “From there, I created a Facebook page and got it into my head that I was going to send the figure with family and friends all over the world and set the goal of sending a figurine to every continent.”

Bostic then crafted a few more Lego Dungys to send to friends and strangers alike, and since then the figurines have had their pictures taken all over the world including the White House, Italy, Ireland, Jerusalem and even the South Pole.

A different kind of creative breakthrough came last Thanksgiving when Bostic was attending the Steelers vs. Colts game in Indianapolis. He noticed scores of fans spinning souvenir towels around the stadium and realized he could create a more unique product fans could spin to create excitement during games. The result is Rally Rings, which Bostic says is a combination of a foam finger, a rally towel

and a fidget spinner.

“We decided to patent the spin mechanism and create a product that you can take to high schools, colleges and pro sports,” he says. “It’s gotten to the point now where we can sell them to any high school and they can print the school logo on it and put a corporate sponsor on the back, and do it as a giveaway at a game. So, we’re trying to break into that promotional market now.”

Bostic says his seemingly endless energy for all his various hobbies comes from a desire to stay connected with his local community and create unique family memories at the same time.

“I like to have goals and be creative,” Bostic says. “My boys have fun with all these projects and things as well. It’s created a lot of cool memories for them. I’m sure they’ll look back and say, ‘Man, my dad was crazy, but it was really a lot of fun.’”

CHEERS! NORTHSIDE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS TO H O S T 1 1 T H A N N U A L O K TO B E R F E S T Writer / Kara Kavensky . Photography Provided

The Northside Knights of Columbus (KofC) has literally been catering to the community since its inception in 1952.

On September 23rd, the Northside KofC hosts its 11th annual Oktoberfest event. Not only a fun party, it’s a fundraiser for Holy Family Homeless Shelter to help their inventory for Christmas as well as collecting donations for Boulevard Food Pantry.

This family-focused event is geared towards children during the hours from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., then transitions to adults from 7pm 11pm. The admission price ($5 kids, $10 adults) includes dinner.

Oktoberfest is open to the public and features craft beer and, of course, lots of German food.

“We are grateful to our sponsors that make this a tremendously

successful event,” says John Creamer, who has been a member of the Northside KofC since 1988. “We help approximately 50 different charities throughout the year with either in-kind or cash donations, which keeps our Executive Director Brad Elson busy.”

Elson, who has served as Executive Director for more than 20 years, ensures that while KofC serves other nonprofits, they offer a fun, family atmosphere for their members.

“Whether we are raising money for the community or hosting pool parties, everyone has a great time,” says Creamer, who is also Chairman of the Charity Gaming Committee.

“It’s also a great place to watch the ND v MSU game, which kicks off at 8 p.m. that night,” adds Creamer, of the Oktoberfest evening.

A WINNING FORMULA FORMER BUTLER COACH REFLECTS ON LIFELONG JOURNEY OF BASKETBALL & LEADERSHIP Writer / Jon Shoulders Photographer / Michael Thierwechter

Todd Lickliter can still recall playing in the stands of North Central High School’s basketball stadium as a five-year-old, while his father ran practice drills as head coach of the Panthers varsity men’s team. Something about the game of basketball had begun to seep into his bones, even back then.

activity where I could really have some direct contact with what my father was doing by attending practice and the games. As I grew older and became a coach myself, I realized how fortunate I’d been to spend that time at the gym around players and my father.”

Lickliter grew up on the north side of Indy, and by the time his high school years rolled around, he was playing varsity hoops on the same court he had watched his father’s “I think it was inevitable that I’d be involved teams practice on as a youngster. After in athletics,” Lickliter recalls. “It was always an graduating from North Central he went

on to play at the collegiate level, earning an associate degree from Central Florida Community College and finishing his junior and senior years at Butler University. Even as a student-athlete, Lickliter had an inkling that coaching was in his future.

“I saw the satisfaction that it brought to my father and it seemed like something I had a good grasp of,” he says. “I’m an education major as well, and it was just natural that I would teach and coach and follow in my father’s footsteps.”

atBrip.com / SEPTEMBER 2017 / BROAD RIPPLE MAGAZINE / 33

Almost immediately after graduating in 1979, Lickliter secured a coaching position at Park Tudor where he began honing a craft that would lead to a successful run in the college ranks.

Several staff positions within the Butler men’s basketball program, including assistant to former head coaches Barry Collier and Thad Matta, helped to refine his own approach as a leader and mentor.

“I had developed good relationships with the people and players at Butler for a number of years,” Lickliter says.

“I ventured to a couple different college situations before I came back to Butler, and what I found was that the quality and sincerity of the people at Butler was almost unmatched.

Becoming head coach was really a dream come true.”

Todd Lickliter served as head coach of the Butler Bulldogs from 2001 to 2007, accumulating a 131-61 overall record.

From 2001 through 2007 Lickliter served as Butler’s head coach, and in his first season, he led the Bulldogs into the Associated Press’s Top 25 ranking for the first time in five decades. By 2007, Lickliter had accumulated a 131-61 overall record, and was named 2007 National Coach of the Year by the National Association of Basketball Coaches.

“If you want to do something very special in athletics, 98 percent of your situations are going to require that you have a tremendous culture, because you’re going to be better collectively than you are individually,” Lickliter says. “The things we did at Butler to help build the program were not due to any one individual. We had a terrific staff, and our student-athletes were incredible and our administration was strong. It doesn’t surprise me that it continued to grow as they moved into the years where Brad Stevens took over as head coach.”

After his time at Butler, Lickliter saw coaching stints at Iowa and Marian universities. Two years ago, he reunited in a professional capacity with Stevens, his former assistant coach at Butler.

34 / BROAD RIPPLE MAGAZINE / SEPTEMBER 2017 / atBRip.com

After Stevens left his own successful coaching run with the Bulldogs to coach the Boston Celtics at the NBA level, he offered Lickliter a chance to serve as a regional scout for the organization. From early fall through late spring he travels to college and NBA Development League games, evaluating and critiquing player potential.

“It’s been a nice, new challenge for me and a way to stay involved and enjoy the relationship Brad and I have developed over the years,” he says. “I get to attend some practices and training camps in Boston, and my wife and I have found that we love downtown Boston.”

The seasonal nature of his NBA scouting job has allowed Lickliter and his wife Joez to spend more time than ever before at their home on the White River, entertaining their three sons and daughters-in-law — all of whom are based in the Indianapolis area, as well as their five grandchildren.

These days, Lickliter also occupies a portion of his downtime in a different sort of coaching capacity.

A few years ago he adopted his two-and-a-half-year-old dog Rocco and is currently attempting to train the 150-pound Italian Mastiff.

“Being a grandparent is the best, and my wife and I spend as much time as we’re allowed with the kids,” Lickliter says. “I think I’m busier now than I ever was coaching, and that’s fine by me.”
