View attachment 92343 Here's my Father's Day card from 2015 (three years after Scoop graduated), in which my daughter thought the image that best captured me was one of me screaming at Scoop through the television while having a coronary. Scoop matured as a player as he went along, but it wasn't all roses and daisies along the way.
I have a friend who is a prominent broadcaster on ESPN radio and talks regularly with all of ESPN's basketball analysts.
Anyway, this friend would, WITHOUT FAIL, call and scream over the phone at me several times a game whenever Scoop did something stupid.
These calls obviously lessened over the years, but in Scoop's frosh and soph seasons, he called me 4-5 times a game to shout at me.
A fun memory, but also a reminder that senior Scoop was exponentially better than underclassman Scoop.
