Scott Guiler learned that Greg possessed skills to go along with his love of the game. Well, he scored 37 points in a second-grade game once,'' he recalled. As a third-grader, he was playing about 80 games a year. From our camps and just seeing him around town, I've known Greg or known about him since he was a little kid,'' Indians coach Kent Riggs said. He started young and continued to play.
Some kids stop working when they get to a certain age.
What set Greg apart from other kids is that he kept working and working and working on his game.'' Following his eighth-grade year, Guiler's parents made an important and somewhat controversial decision. Although he was an outstanding student, they decided to hold Greg back one year. I'm not going to lie and say that basketball didn't play a factor in our decision, but what people need to understand is that Greg was 5-4 and just was not very mature,'' Scott Guiler said. We consulted with a lot of people before deciding this. We wanted to give him a little better opportunity to succeed.
