Funny story: I was in some airport somewhere, and I left my wife and two year old daughter to go use the men's room. Upon returning to where my family was sitting, I saw Denny Crum handing my daughter her Teddy Bear that she had just dropped on the ground. I just stood there stunned. My wife, having no earthly idea who he is, looks at my face and wonders what's wrong with me.

Anyway, he seemed like a nice guy. Sorry to see him pass.

He learned from The Master, John Wooden. He obviously learned a lot. Very classy man with no scandals or negative press on his Louisville teams, including 2 National Champs.

RIP.

Back when Denny was Wooden's head recruiter he was basically told to camp out on Donald Smith's doorstep and don't come back until he had signed with UCLA.

Of course, Smitty never became a Bruin as he signed with Don Donoher and UD.
