Popular Post PMookie 17,328 Posted March 29 Popular Post Share Posted March 29 My old HS hoops coach and I used to meet-up at each Final Four while I was in Grad School and then when I started coaching. We’d always go to the coaching clinics throughout the week to learn new stuff, but I only ever went to one of the games: Michigan State vs Florida for Izzo’s first title. I never had the money for tickets, so we’d go to the National Association of Basketball Coaches viewing party instead. Free food, free beer, and it was always hosted in a nice hotel ballroom. I hadn’t been to the Final Four in years and today my coach texts me he’s coming down to NOLA and has an extra ticket for Saturday’s semifinal games, could I go? I immediately COPIED AND PASTED the text to the wife, and she said “go”!!! BOOM! I’m going to see K’s last semifinal!!! Versus Carolina!!! YES!!!! So cool. Can’t wait!!! My HS coach still owes me after 35 years for having told FIVE universities that I didn’t want to play college hoops!!!

Ben_Howell34 636 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Pretty incredible game to see live I would imagine! Was incredible to watch on TV that’s for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMookie 17,328 Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 It was a really good, quick trip! I drove down Saturday morning, getting into NOLA at lunch, and my HS hoops coach and I then went to eat lunch. We went back to the hotel to change and then walked 30 minutes to the dome. The first game wasn’t so great because of Kansas shooting so well, but you all know how great the UNC vs Duke game was!!! Absolutely awesome! I got to see Krzyzewski’s last game as a coach! Pretty cool! I took my coach out to breakfast yesterday, then I went to mass at St. Louis Cathedral before heading back home. Saturday and Sunday were absolutely perfect days for walking “the quarter”. It was a great trip, so fun! 3 1 Quote Driver: King F9 Speedback/Epic Max LS, Xphlexxx Busa 2 Liquid, XX stiff, 45” Fwy: Epic Speed 4w, MMT 80X Hybrid: X2 Hot Pro, 20*, Graphite Design Tour AD-DI 105X Irons: TR20 Tour P 4-10, Modus 130 stiff, +1” Wedges: SMS 50D/54V/58DModus 130 stiff, +1” Putter: EAS 1.0 All but putter have Lamkin ST+2 Hybrid Calibrate midsize built to oversize +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfspy_CG2 32,619 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Fantastic pictures, must have been an incredible time. Glad you got to see Carolina prevail in what was one of the most intense games I can ever recall watching.
