Coach Ehler coached my Dad at UD and myself in high school at Northmont. One of the great, funniest basketball minds I've ever met! He had some great lines when talking to the refs in games. The best story of him was when we were playing at Vandalia Butler my senior year. I had a pretty crappy first half to say the least. I was using the bathroom at halftime and he came up to me and said "Your Dad never played like that". Ouch.
