The Arizona High School Coaches Association Hall of Fame last week inducted five new members. None from Tucson. In fact, the group hasn’t inducted a Tucson coach since 2006, when ex-Sahuaro football coach Howard Breinig (pictured above) was rightfully selected. Only 15 coaches in Tucson history are in the Hall of Fame. No Jeff Scurran. No Richard Sanchez. No Bobby DeBerry. No Wolfgang Weber. The logjam of deserving coaches goes on and on. How does this happen? The 15 executive committee members are all from the greater Phoenix area. Sad
