"Sir Schreiber Court": Some people take things a bit too literally

There once lived a man named Bob Schreiber. He was the wrestling coach at Wallace (Idaho) High School. And the American Legion baseball coach. And the manager of the swimming pool. And a couple of other sports-coaching jobs, and a high school teacher...and anything else he could do to keep busy 24/7. When you met him, he always introduced himself the same way: "Call me Sir." And they did. People who left Wallace, became doctors and lawyers and returned to Wallace called him Sir. That's just what you did.

He died of cancer about a year ago. They decided to name the gym up there after him, and I just got the first picture of the court: written right on the paint in front of the free throw line is the inscription "In Loving Memory of Sir Schreiber."
