This is absolutely awesome - vintage Buzz...

"He told me I sucked," Otule said. "But he said that I would improve at Marquette. That's how he earned my trust. He was brutally honest."

Did Williams remember the interaction differently?

"He did suck," Williams added. "He was a bad player, but we really need a big guy."
The Flutie Effect: "A significant and positive correlation between a university having a successful team and higher quality of incoming freshmen, alumni donations, and graduation rates."

- The Economist, January 3rd, 2007

Wow ..

Williams knew of Otule's ineptitude on the court, but he didn't know he was blind until the team doctor Ernest Eugene evaluated Otule the summer before his freshman year.

"Coach, you have a few minutes?" Eugene said. "Did you know Chris was blind?"

"What the hell are you talking about?" Williams responded.

That's when Eugene told Williams about Otule's glass eye.

Wow ..

It's a great article, but I'm surprised *you* haven't seen it those words yet, it's been linked here in various forms for the past few weeks.

I guess it just never came up.
All this talk of rights.  So little talk of responsibilities.
