| CA Outstanding Skipper Award Given to Watt Wednesday, October 30th , 1974 Alex Watt stepped before the microphone today and accepted his Continental Association Manager of the Year award, thanking the whole Seattle Kings organization for making the 1974 season such a success.
Watt struggled to find the right words. "My father was a drill instructor in the military. He taught me that you have to work hard, set goals and accept responsibility for your actions. That's what the entire Seattle organization did this year. My dedicated owner, coaching staff, hard-working and talented players and loyal front office all made this award possible. I thank them for it."
And what a year it was. Watt sparked the Kings to a 98-64 record and a first in the Continental Association West standings. | | |
