Hey IlliniGman. I played frosh-soph basketball at Carmi in 66 and 67. My head coach was David Lee who played with Jerry Sloan on the Evansville Purple Aces. Sloan would occasionally visit our practices. What year did you graduate Carmi?
David Lee played at SIU....My uncle Bob Lee ( David's brother ) took me and another cousin to SIU when the Saluki's played Louisville and Wes Unseld when they were ranked # 1 in the country and beat them...A Lville fan sitting behind us was drinking and cussing and my uncle turned around and one punched him and that shut him up the rest of the game ....great time and the Saluki mascot would go over to the Lville bench and act like he was peeing on them during timeouts....
David Lee was the head coach of the McLeansboro Foxes when we won state in 1984 going undefeated with Brad Sloan ( Jerry's son )Tracy and Stacy Sturm,
and others...great season...
I did a lot of partying at Carbondale in the mid to late sixties...surprised I survived ....
