Former Wake Forest Coach Carl Tacy Passes

Wouldn't Russell Lee have been? If you go by the present, D'Antoni's name is most instantly recognized by basketball fans.  But researched Lee after 4ever dropped his name-  guy was an absolute stud at Marshall, and went on to be drafted 6th overall by the Bucks.  That's pretty lofty. 

But this was before I could have followed MU unfortunately.  Born just too late to recall Al era 😢

Yeah, Lee was the star of that team with 22ppg and 12 rpg.  D'Antoni was very good as well.  That was a very competitive game as the Thunderng Herd was a very good team.

Before Tacy arrived at Marshall, MU played Marshall in the semifinals of the 1967 NIT. That Thundering Herd team was coached by Ellis Johnson, who was Adolph Rupp's first All-America at Kentucky. Back then, comedian Soupy Sales was one of the more famous alums of Marshall.

Go Warriors!

Joe or anyone, can you name 2 playas on that Thundering Herd team?

Thundering Herd is still an all time classic mascot name
May likely surpass Warriors, but not by much

I know I am changing the subject here, but when did the word "die" fall out of favor?  Is it politically incorrect now?

Back in the dark ages of the 1970s, this was a bugaboo with Journalism teachers everywhere. Damn, I wish I had a nickel for every time one of the J-School professors screamed that people do not pass away, they do not expire and they do not pass into everlasting life. THEY DIE!

Nothing new here. Nothing to see. Move on. Some people are idiots.

My close high school friend whose Dad worked for the FBI just passed from complications due to Covid 19. And if we want to say he passed we will.
I have made Jason Bourne look like a sissy many times. I have been in knife, chrome bar and gun fights for you. I am out of all that 🙂

As Coach Al liked to say, he cashed in his chips.

Go Warriors!
