At the age of 47, Tim Derk’s career as mascot for the San Antonio Spurs was soaring as the team headed toward their second NBA Championship. That career ended abruptly when he suffered a massive stroke. Despite remarkable success in regaining speech and movement, Derk knew there was no going back. Hi Mom, Send Sheep! is his fond look at his years as the Coyote. Beginning with his recruitment from a community theater stage, through the early days when he carried his improvised costume to the arena in garbage bags, to the heady championship years, Derk paints a vivid picture of his life in the NBA. Wry anecdotes of Coyote misadventures are interspersed with vivid reminiscences of the owners, managers, and players who helped build one of the great sports franchises. Part sports memoir, part inspirational tale, Hi Mom, Send Sheep! is above all the well-told story of a life adventurously lived.

About the Authors

Tim Derk made his debut as the Coyote in 1983. He appeared in over 1,110 games and averaged almost 200 community appearances a year. Today he is the associate manager of service innovation for Spurs Sports and Entertainment and lives in San Antonio with his wife, Colleen Quirk, and their two children. Derk loves his current position with the Spurs and remarks, “It’s the first job I’ve ever had that requires me to wear long pants!”

David Robinson played with the San Antonio Spurs for fourteen years and was winner of the NBA’s Rookie of the Year, Most Valuable Player, and Player of the Year awards, among many others.
