Message: [QUOTE="bballbeadle, post: 4591214, member: 548"] The announcer said Billy couldn’t make it. Then there he was! When Carmelo was going down the line, one of the players grabbed him and hugged him for at least 5 seconds, until they were both off balance. I couldn’t figure out who it was, but now wonder if it was Billy? When Boeheim called him out personally (voice cracking as he did so), that was the first time I saw him. Billy had mental health issues, and in 2004 Boeheim excoriated him on the court, and Billy never returned to our team. He may have been suicidal. It was terrible drama. I can only hope that Boeheim has talked to him and apologized, and I suspect he has. Does anyone know more about this? [/QUOTE]
