 The Barberton community is no stranger to great basketball and excellent coaching, and that tradition continues as current boys' coach Ken Rector picked up his 300th career win on the hardwood. Rector spoke with WAKR's Ray Horner Monday morning about the experience and carrying on the tradition of success in the Magic City. "I've been very fortunate to have the coaches I've had along the way," Rector said. "When you have that type of dedication, consistency, and commitment, it really does help the program." Rector is now #2 on the all-time wins list at Barberton, behind legendary coach Jack Greynolds, whom he played for. |
