Rasheed Wallace carries lessons from Bill Ellerbee at Simon Gratz into high school coaching

Posted Feb 28, 2020
A basketball game had just ended, a game Rasheed Wallace had coached. Up in the top corner of the Jordan High School bleachers, across from the opposite bench, Wallace’s own Simon Gratz High coach, Bill Ellerbee, had sat with his former Gratz assistant, Roland Wharton. They’d taken a ride down from Philly that day to see their guy do his thing. (Philadelphia Inquirer)
