SB a Li Former Blazers coach says he's not likely to lead a team this year By Chris Hagan Statesman Journal It can be hard to pick Rick Adelman out of a crowd when he's not pacing an NBA sideline.

In cargo shorts and a polo shirt and at eye level (he was listed at 6-foot-l during his playing days), he blended in with the business leaders and Chemeketa Community College supporters who gathered Monday at lllahe Hills Country Club for the 22nd Rick Adelman Golf Classic. The event raises money for athletic scholarships at Chemeketa. Eventually, though, it gets easier. Adelman, a former Portland Trail Blazers coach who just finished his 20th season as an NBA head coach, is the one at the center of the growing group of well-wishers and former colleagues from his first coaching job, when he took over at Chemeketa in 1977. "There's a lot of people here I knew when I was at Chemeketa a long time ago.

A lot of familiar faces," Adelman said. "I had a great experience at Chemeketa, so it's just trying to give something back to them."

Those numbers, and his status as perhaps the best deep threat in NFL history, will make him a strong candidate for the Hal), of Fame. Voters will weigh those numbers and his six Pro Bowl seasons against a history of boorish behavior and a penchant for taking plays off when he lost interest in the game. His career started with seven electric seasons with the Minnesota Vikings before he went dormant for two years in Oakland.

He re-emerged as a force with the New England Patriots in 2007, hauling in a single-season record 23 TD passes from Tom Brady to help the Patriots reach the Super Bowl. Moss was traded to the Vikings in October 2010, but the reunion lasted just four weeks. Vikings coach Brad Childress cut Moss in November, a move that played a role in the coach's dismissal a few weeks later.
