highs and high schools now," Metcalf said. "Cen
tral Texas and East Texas are all my territory now
for speaking."
Although basketball is behind him now.', Met
calf nevertheless is still remembered by his peers
for his contributions to the game.
John Thornton, A&M's Assistant Athletic Direc
tor, who played under Metcalf for two years, and
coached with him for 10 more, said he believes
Metcalf was a big reason why college basketball
became a success in Texas.
"The most amazing thing about Shelby is that
he compiled all those records and accomplish
ments when basketball was just an afterthought of
football season around here," Thornton said. "Not
only did he achieve recognition for A&M in bas
ketball, but also for the state of Texas and the en
tire southwest region as well."
With basketball season rapidly approaching,
Metcalf took time to reflect back on his memories,
and look forward to the Aggies chances this sea
son.
"The best team I ever coached was the 1980
team that lost to Louisville in the Sweet 16 round
of the (NCAA) tournament the year Louisville
won it all," Metcalf said. "I agree with most that
this year Texas certainly has the talent to win (the
conference), but A&M looks good.
"They have a lot of people coming back, and
they had a very good recruiting season."
All good things must come to an end however,
and Metcalf will retire from Texas A&M on Janu
ary 31, 1994, concluding a 35-year career on cam
pus. Thornton said he believes Metcalf has been
successful his entire life because of a special mix of
attributes.
"He mixes his knowledge of people with a
sense of intense competition," Thornton said. "He
has such great resources from stories and from his
own personality. He is a rare speaker who can re
late to both players and audiences all over the
country."

Possibly, because oftlii

One argument is thattli
Mountaineers had aneas

So West Virginia hasiio
