Winging it with big Bill

Tonight we re-watched our interview with the great Bill Kentling, who served as the Wichita Wings' general manager from 1980-86 before becoming MISL commissioner. Kentling was known for his risk taking, a keen marketing mind and fiery personality (he famously got into it with Minnesota goalkeeper Tino Lettieri).
The interview was shot at Century II earlier this year, but I'd forgotten some of the surprising things he revealed.
His biggest regret? Moving the MISL offices to New York, where the league soon wouldn't even have a team. The first indoor soccer game he saw, Kentling said, was his first as GM.
"How much of this stuff were you guys just making up as you went along?" I finally asked.
"One hundred percent," he replied.
