In late 2008, Worthen was the coach of the Generals, playing the bad guy role during the games. He ran such skits as using a "remote controlled" ball that the Globetrotters couldn\'t control, putting a piece of hard plastic on top the Globetrotters rim so they couldn\'t score and simply adding 30 or so points to the Generals\' score by manipulating the scoreboard. At the end of games, he would lose a bet and was forced to wear a pink tutu and a tiara, and carry a shiny magic wand off the court.\n', '

Worthen started coaching in 1985 as a player/coach of the United States Basketball League\'s Springfield Fame guiding them to the league title.\n', '
