Retiring Jacobs coach Hinkle: ‘This is my time’

ALGONQUIN – Sometimes Jim Hinkle curses his mistress for her insatiable appetite for attention.

She is relentless, overtaking every thought almost every hour of every day. It has been this way ever since Hinkle can remember. Even when he was married to Barb, the love of his life, his mistress was there, begging for his consideration.

Hinkle’s mistress is basketball. Together, they have had a fantastic ride for 50 years, and when it’s over, there will be countless memories.
