    RIP Denny Crum

    Louisville is confirming that HOF Coach Denny Crum has passed. His 1986 team famously beat our Blue Devils for the NCAA Championship.

    I was there with OPK. As he will attest, it was a fantastic (and absolutely crazy) weekend, until it wasn’t. And a long ride back to Durham…

    RIP Denny Crum. He seems like he was one of the good ones

    RIP Coach Crum. I first remember seeing Denny Crum on the sidelines as an assistant coach for John Wooden at UCLA. He has been a fixture for a lot of years.

    Honestly, outside of the obvious, I didn't ever hear much bad about Crum. Certainly a gem of a previous era.

    Really feels like the Golden Age of Coaches is starting to slip away.

    Rest In Peace to a Legend.

    He left UCLA as John Wooden's top assistant during their glory days to build a powerful program at Louisville.

    He personally came to Coach K's last game at Louisville to congratulate him.

    Another Coaching Giant has left us...

    I was thinking the same thing. He came to Coach K’s last game at Louisville last year; then passed away this year. Much like another of Coach K’s longtime colleagues, Terry Holland.
