Ralph Lawler has been toying with the idea of starting his own podcast or taking ukulele lessons or doing some teaching at the community college not far from his home here in Bend, a leafy city in central Oregon. He also has a book he might want to write. Or perhaps he could start a small business with his wife, Jo. “Oh, I don’t know,” Lawler said. “I think every day about something. I just haven’t really figured out how to live life without basketball yet.”
