This Sunday and Monday McClure and his Austin Toros are coming to town; Bismarck, ND.
I have several pictures ready for him to autograph along with the 2001 SI Champs hard cover magazine. I have had Dockery, D Jones and Quinn all autograph it. I'll find a page for David.
Unfortunately I did not get J Will's autograph when he was here. He only played one D-League game and it was here. I was not able to get his autograph that night, they wanted the fans to come the next night and get autographs but unfortunately he was injured and did not show the second night. That was his only D-League game.
I enjoy visiting with these guys and we talk a lot about Coach K.
A few years back we had McCray (Maryland) on our team and I got to visit with him multiple nights. He shared his experiences playing against Duke and his impressions of Coach K. He shared his experience in which Coach K "verbally" abused the refs one night. McCray laughed and said many of coaches did that but many folks think Coach K is a saint, we know he isn't, but he thought is was cool to hear him go off. He said that many of players in the Maryland locker room after the game talked about his verbal lashing and they thought it was cool too. Sounded like they gained some respect for Coach K after that.
Coach K is number one and no matter where he is, I'll pull for his team.
