There is so much opportunity for class in great journalism. eg., in a Washington Post article, by Dave Kindred, a kindred soul to the Hoyas wrote about an SU - G'Town game...[I]It was gorgeous to watch. Basketball can be poetry, each line crafted precisely, or it can be cacophony, everyone tooting his own horn according to his whims.[/I]
Unfortunately he was writing about a Syracuse loss to Gergetown.

So many great memories, SWC. One of them:  On one of Jim's recruiting  trips, I remember the team arriving to play UConn at Bradley airport in CT, leaving for the Marriott in Farmington then with another friend of mine at the wheel picking Jim up and racing to Middletown HS to recruit Corny Thompson, a great recruit and as you mentioned a first team All - American.

Kudos to you again on this one. There is a vast amount of information here about Jim, his reactions to many things besides wins and losses but how other teams played us and were thoroughly dipatched and others who weren't supposed to win, did. The Louie and Bouie relationship and their closeness, friendship, and a sense of each other knowing where the other was on the court at any moment.

Thank you for this.
