OT .... Pat, in the current cesspool of college athletics, Al McGuire was indeed a rare and special person. Singlehandedly, he put Marquett U on the map basketballwise. A throwback to a different time, when things were about the kind of person you were; not how much money you had. A person that today is rare in college athletics. He loved basketball, but he loved life and his young people even more. Having met McGuire many years ago, I do know he left an impression on many lives, on those close to him. Today, Rick Majerus is one of the few like McGuire left; a man who cares about lives more than wins and losses. Rick and Al had a very special love for eachother and for life. Great article, thanks for posting.

Thanks for the post on Al McGuire. I actually met him once. I was working in a restaurant and he was dining alone (probably traveling to another game); he was an analyst with Dick Enberg at the time I believe. I talked with him just briefly but it was clear that what Rick Majerus wrote about his being the kind of guy who would be the same no matter who he was talking with was really true. Al, you were quite a man. The world is a little less brighter without you.
