A terrific coach, decent man, and just one of the guys

I had the pleasure of meeting Rick at the Maui Invitational when Syracuse won it. We talked for a few minutes. I was struck by how real the guy was.

Anyway, this clip of his press conference after St. Louis lost to Michigan State says volumes about the man and his core beliefs. RIP Rick.
