Sad meeting

Former Arkansas-Little Rock head men's basketball coaches Steve Shield and Porter Mozer were together at Oaklawn Park. Someone told Rock they were there, and he was pleased. He looked around and saw them standing together near trainer Red Hartledge's box in the indoor grandstands, twenty-feet above and sixty-feet away from the one-sixteenth pole on the track. Rock approached them and said hello, but they seemed displeased by the meeting. They each shook his hand but looked away and seemed dismissive, nearly contemptuous Rock thought.
