Tommy Afterbirth has some notable milestones in his life besides the Gynecologists. He was quite the athlete in his younger days; he competed in a statewide basketball free-throw shooting contest, finishing in second place. The winner of that contest, Steve Alford is a true basketball legend who led the Indiana University Hoosiers to the 1987 national championship and was the school’s all-time leading scorer at the time. Alford currently serves as the coach of the UCLA Bruins, the position previously held by one of the greatest basketball coaches of all time, John Wooden.
