Vic Innarelli gives basketball pointers to some young boys
Description:
This is a copy of a photograph of Vic Innarelli holding a basketball in triple threat position as he looks forward. Six young boys kneel on the ground and are staring at Innaralli. Innarelli has his feet spread about shoulder width distance apart, maintains a slight bend in his knees, and holds the basketball out in front of him around waist level. Inneralli must be careful not to hold the basketball too high or too low because doing so will make it easier for defenders to steal the ball. This is known as the Triple Threat position. There is text underneath the image. Within the text, his name is spelled Inneralli. The text reads, "-Left- Basketball Pointers Vic Inneralli, advisor to the Monus Sabias Club, gives boys a few basketball pointers. The Highland "Y: sponsors two basketball teams which practive at the De Berry School Gymnasium.". Vic Innarelli was considered an honorary member of the football team at Springfield College.

Innarelli may have also did volunteer work coaching and was an advisor to the Monus Sabias Club, which appears to have had a relationship with the YMCA. Innarelli passed away on March 9, 2012. He was 81 years old.
