This brings up a fun anecdote that I don't think I've shared here but I think is in-bounds.  I worked for the American Cancer Society (that's where Coaches vs Cancer lives) for a few years in their marketing/marketing research group.  We were doing some work with the CvC folks that included a number of engagements with coaches during final four weekend in Atlanta a few years back (coaches convention is always that weekend so most would be in town).  I'd be doing interviews with coaches about the program, asking about their specific communities and how we could be better aligned with what they needed, etc.  we were also scheduled to record a number of PSAs.  I got the word that JB was on the schedule and I was in heaven.  Then the team kept winning and I had a Sophie's Choice situation.  If we lost the elite 8 game, things would go as scheduled.  If we won, he would obviously be at a different hotel and booked with team/ff commitments and I'd miss my chance to work with him.  Obviously, the rest is history and it never happened, but that's certainly a fair trade off.  Was still the best work assignment I've ever had, spending 2 days having pretty deep talks with incredible guys.  For what it's worth, Calhoun, Cooley, Kruger and Fran Frischilla all blew me away.  I know we're not supposed to say that about Calhoun but he was all around fantastic to work with.
