He had a sense of humor, also.
When he was AD at UK...Kentucky beat Bama in football
The Cats have only beaten Bama twice in history.
Well, needless to say the students and the fans flooded the
field and tore down both goal posts. When they finally cleared
the field an hour after the game had ended, reporters questioned
CM in a serious manner. They asked him what he felt about all
the people flooding the field, all the damage that had been done,
the goal posts being torn down and the conf fine that UK would have
to pay.
CM just smiled and said..."To tell you the truth, if I was a little
younger I would have been out there helping them bring down
those goal posts."
He was a great coach and administrator who laid the foundation for his own success, as well as that of his successor, Wimp Sanderson.
I liked Sanderson...he dressed funny
I remember at one point, the center court logo was painted in checkers, like one of his blazers
That's awesome!Pitino had switched into a plaid Blue coat, that was identical
to what Wimp always wore except it had multiple blues colors
instead of multiple red colors.
