Greg Goff made a pivotal decision in 1973 that shaped the course of his life. As he recounted upon his induction to the Baker Athletic Hall of Fame on Oct. 3, Goff was a couple years removed from a memorable pair of seasons playing basketball for the Wildcats — he was a team captain, double-figure scorer and assist leader — and had been coaching high school basketball.
