Message: [QUOTE="Novaguy, post: 5422638, member: 10534"] First of all, although I'm not a Syracuse fan I check this site often because I enjoy it and appreciate the banter. Unfortunately you're no longer in the Big East but that's a subject for a different day. Regarding Sherman Douglas, I'm sure some of you will remember Chris Ford who played with the Celtics won an NBA championship and made the first three pointer in the NBA and later became the head coach. I lived with Chris for three years at Villanova and we stayed close after graduation. I know the following will sound pretentious, but one day during the NBA season he called and asked for my opinion of Douglas. I told him that, while he may not be the easiest guy to coach, every time I see him on the court he plays his butt off. About a week later Douglas was a Celtic. So Sherman doesn't know this, but I take some pride in knowing I had at least some amount of credit for his NBA career [/QUOTE]
