Well said. I had the honor of eating dinner with him and my dad about 25 years ago. I did not know what to expect of him after all those championships I thought that he might be full of himself, but I was very wrong he was a gentleman and very humble, he even acted interested in what I had to say. And the thing that sticks out in my mind is how he never took the credit for winning, his answer was always he had great players 1 thru 12. Basketball will never have the luxury of another coach like that.
