WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- To find out just how big a game it is for Winston-Salem State looking to see what kind of tie assistant coach James Wilhelmi is wearing is a good place to start.Wilhelmi, and fellow assistant Tim Wells, do a lot of the behind-the-scenes work for Coach Bobby Collins. One thing Collins tries to do after every game is make sure he mentions that Wells and Wilhelmi did a good job in preparing the scouting report.
For Wilhelmi, if he’s wearing a bow tie, then that means it’s an important game. Chances are he’ll be wearing a bow tie tonight when 17th-ranked WSSU puts its 11-game win streak on the line at the Gaines Center against Elizabeth City State. It’s an important game because the Rams can sweep the Northern Division of the CIAA with a 6-0 record.
Wilhelmi doesn’t wear a bow tie all the time but when he does he’s paying homage to one of his mentors, Gil Jackson. It was Jackson, the former head coach at Howard, who gave Wilhelmi his second chance in the college game.
