Hoops for the Soul:  Remembering Coach Al

I am a sucker for Al McGuire retrospectives, and Chris Maynard at Hoops4theSoul filed a terrific post yesterday (which happened to be Jerome Whitehead's 51st birthday).

"I want to keep the pulse of the parking-lot attendant—the country club or golf course is not where it's at. The pulse is on the cracked sidewalks. If you lose that, life's not worth living. As a person, I hope I never change."

Thanks for the nostalgic rush, Chris.

Al is the only coach in Marquette basketball history who could not only talk the talk, but also could walk the walk. One of the brightest people I've ever heard, in or out of the classroom. One of a kind, period.

Is anyone debating this?!?
