A lot of people don't realize what an absolute mania basketball is in the Philippines. Arguably, it's more popular there than it is stateside.
Anyway, here's their Facebook page and some video where Henderson is instructing his charges. It's a very long way from Chicago or Duke or the NBA, but he's teaching people who really want to learn and for a guy they called Coach Phil, what could possibly be better than that? His passion comes through; so does theirs. Not a bad epitaph.
There are also some comments from folks on losing him. Very sad.
