His 47th season at the helm, IIRC. Apart from a few seasons in his early 20s playing semi-pro ball, he has spent his entire life since the age of 18 at Syracuse Univ, and he grew up nearby.
My view of that play was from about 150 yards away near the top of the Metrodome, an awful place to watch a basketball game...but worth every second of it.
Three NBA players with long careers on that Syracuse team. Sherman Douglas, Derrick Colman and Billy Owens. We watched that game at a random bar somewhere in the middle of Nebraska or Iowa on our way back from skiing for spring break.My view of that play was from about 150 yards away near the top of the Metrodome, an awful place to watch a basketball game...but worth every second of it.
