At the age of 47, Tim Derk’s career as

mascot for the San Antonio Spurs was

soaring as the team headed toward their

second NBA Championship. That career

ended abruptly when he suffered a massive

stroke. Despite remarkable success in

regaining speech and movement, Derk

knew there was no going back. Hi Mom,

Send Sheep! is his fond look at his years

as the Coyote. Beginning with his

recruitment from a community theater

stage, through the early days when he

carried his improvised costume to the arena

in garbage bags, to the heady championship

years, Derk paints a vivid picture of his life in

the NBA. Wry anecdotes of Coyote

misadventures are interspersed with vivid

reminiscences of the owners, managers,

and players who helped build one of the

great sports franchises. Part sports memoir,

part inspirational tale, Hi Mom, Send Sheep!

is above all the well-told story of a life

adventurously lived. -Trinity University Press
