My Brush with Greatness.

07 Dec
We had a huge Basketball tournament here at Deer Park. I think there was about 60 plus teams entered. It was sponsored by Mcdonlads and it brought in a bunch of people and teams from a long way away. Well I was at one of the games and I see Roy Williams walk in the gym. THE Roy Williams head coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels. I go in the mall and tell him hello. He introduces himself to me like I don’t know who he is. I introduce myself and he ask where the hospitality room is. I walk him down there as he ask a few questions about the school and how nice it is and when was it building. He goes and gets some snacks and all these folks are chatting him up and talking. He eats a bit then comes back in the mall and walks over to me and says “hey coach I am looking for a place to get some good Texas BBQ”. I tell him how to get to Cattle drive (which isn’t the best but the closest and thought he would like the atmosphere). He thanks me and tells me about a story when he was coaching for Dean Smith and they went to a hole in the wall place in Lubbock and it was just great. I told him this place is next to a Conoco gas station so you can’t get much more hole in the wall than that. He laughed and said great and thanks. I go on home and the next monday Louie Means comes to me and says Roy Williams was looking for you last night. He said he went to eat BBQ and loved the place and when he got back he ask where I was so he could thank me for sending him to the place.
How about that? Roy Williams was asking where I was to thank me. Now that’s classic.
Ya’ll be safe out there!!
