As an assistant basketball coach at Southeastern from 1981-87, Lonn Reisman regularly recruited in Dallas — just a 90-minute drive but a world away down U.S. 75. That’s why he was so confused when he first saw Rodman practice at Cooke County College (now North Central Texas College) in Gainesville. Reisman, upon inquiring, was told Rodman attended South Oak Cliff High School in Dallas. “I’m going back through my notes and I couldn’t find his name,” Reisman said. That’s because Rodman, who was shy of 6-feet in high school, never played varsity basketball. He made it to Gainesville after someone saw him play at a rec center.
