He played the heel of a coach in Bad News Bears so well, even before out-of-control parent-coach was even a thing.

Got to meet Vic Morrow when he ate lunch in our mess hall in
Quang Tri.We all talked about the Combat show with him.
One of the grunts invited him to join em on a patrol.
He laughed and said he was too out of shape and too dam old.
Really hated the terrible way he died.

His death was incredibly gruesome and is on tape. Not for the faint of heart.

Watching Combat right now on YouTube.
My favorite show as a kid. We all wanted to be SGT Saunders and carry that Thompson.
