Hinkle has his night at Jacobs’ old gym
ALGONQUIN – When the buzzer sounded and Alex Kokosis’ shot dropped through the net, Jim Hinkle took three steps onto the faded gym floor, emphatically criss-crossing his arms.
Wave it off. Wave it off, the 71-year-old Jacobs boys basketball coach motioned. Kokosis was certain he had gotten the shot off in time. But when the referees signaled that the buzzer-beater was, in fact, no good, Hinkle smiled broadly, fully able to enjoy another successful night on the job.
His money, at least on this night, was safe.
