Jack Ramsay finds pride in Hawks' run.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
Byline: Stan Hochman
PHILADELPHIA _ When Jack Ramsay interviewed for the Saint Joseph's coaching job in 1955, he told Father Geib, the moderator of athletics, that if he could find enough outside jobs to support his family, he'd work for nothing.
He got the job. Settled for next-to-nothing. Giddily accepted a $3,500 salary, which was $2,000 less than he was making as a teacher and coach at Mount Pleasant High School in Wilmington, Del.
"When my colleagues heard I was leaving Mount Pleasant," Ramsay recalled, "they said, `Must be for big money, a long-term contract.' I said, `Less money, and a one-year deal.' They thought I'd gone over the edge."
