This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I liked the guy at Kansas by irishrock

I worked in an investor center and took calls all day helping people with investments (first job out of college) It was purely random, but I took his call one time. Halfway through, I asked something like, "are you the basketball coach?" and he said yeah.

I remarked that I remember him at UNC and I did my free throws like he did...If you make the free throw, you keep your feet set and he laughed and said something like, "you've got to be the only basketball fan in the world that would remember that" I helped him with his investment stuff and then later he reaches out to me directly (he had taken down my name and #) for more assistance. As we wrapped up he asked if I was going up to the KU/Michigan State game (night game on a Saturday night) and I said I was planning on it. He tells me to swing by the basketball coaches tailgate "we'll have a number of recruits there and all of us basketball coaches will be there" Shoot, I get there and I felt like I was a prized recruit with him introducing me to Roy Williams and all the players (I had just graduated two years earlier)

Helluva nice guy...I still wonder what it was that held him back as I believe he should have been VERY successful as a head coach...maybe he was just meant to be an assistant.
