As someone who went to basketball games at Manley under coach Danforth, I’m a little misty right now. It was a great run. I had a fond “brush with greatness“ moment when I played basketball at Henninger and coach Boeheim and coach Fine would show up at the school gym after our summer league games with a couple of SU players like Chris Jerebko, Dale Shackelford, Danny Schayes, Marty Headd and I think Marty Byrnes was there once and I got an opportunity to play (get my ass kicked) against these guys while Coach Boeheim watched.
Anyway, that was a thrill for a 15, 16 year old and now the reins have been handed off to Red. As has been said, Red is the new Orange. I’m excited for him. Met him and Gerry Mac once at a practice and they were very accommodating and good ambassadors for the program. I really do think a new energy and creative wind will be blowing through the program and I hope it’s successful in filling the dome again. It will be interesting to see Coach Autry operating unfettered and self-directed. Sorry so long-winded and rambling I have some stirring memories of all the program’s milestones under Boeheim. I’ve waited 47 years to say all this. Carry on smartly everyone and Go Orange!
