Sad news. He was only 60. I always liked Flip as a coach. May he rest in peace.

Wow. He was just on the news the other day about stepping down as a coach. I had no idea he was that close to passing away.
Came as a shock for me too.
Flip was the coach of the La Crosse Catbirds when I was in school at the time. He was a solid coach. RIP.
