I am working with folks here to bring Etan to SUNY Brockport in the spring. The talk at this time would have me on stage with him as part of the conversation. That may not work out, but it sure would be fun.

Thank you! Etan is such an intelligent man. I liked reading that he was an activist of sorts while at SU and that Boeheim brought him in and said, “When you speak out, you need to be able to defend your position. As long as you can defend your position, you can continue to speak out.” Sounds very Boeheim-y.

His most recent book, which interviews current and older sports legends about social issues, is even better.
