Major E. is my brother-in-law. He was asst. coach for the varsity b-ball team, and coached the JV squad. He was the only military member of the coaching staff during his time there (198? until about 1997) My nieces and nephews grew up on the academy grounds and attended Academy High School.
If Minton was the B-ball coach, he was the asst. coach when Mark played for the academy back in 1970-72. He requested Mark as his asst. when he was promoted to head coach. There were no officers on the coaching staff, so the Airforce created a new job title for Mark.. Military Liason to the Basketball Staff

.
He always said he had the best job in the Airforce. Retired now and coaching a local high school.
