From Barry Lewis...
A photo from our 1982 archives: Wayman Tisdale, with his girlfriend and future wife Regina Ashley and coach Mike Mims, announces he will sign with Oklahoma in 1982:
Mike Mims, who coached Booker T. Washington to three state basketball titles, will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award on June 22 at the third annual All-World Awards, sponsored by Braum’s, at the Marriott Southern Hills.
Previous winners were Jenks’ Allan Trimble and Barnsdall’s Joe Gilbert.
Mims led the Hornets to six state tournament appearances in 10 seasons, including titles in 1973, ’77 and ’81. That last title team included legendary University of Oklahoma All-American Wayman Tisdale.
Mims then spent 12 years as an OU assistant before returning to his high school alma mater, Washington, for three years as dean of students and athletic director. He later was an administrator at Hale and Sand Springs high schools.
