> > I am a coach at a Juco in Oklahoma and I have seen him around our games and our regional tournament for a couple of years now. I have heard he has been working with a sports agency. I know Gary Ward personally. He has been working for New Mexico State and Oklahoma State as a fundraiser and scouting and recruiting. His son Rocky is the head coach at NMSU and his youngest son Roger is was my boss at Northeasten Oklahoma A&M JC for the last 4 years.
