Message: [QUOTE="AidanFan20, post: 5339951, member: 13473"] That comment about Geno showing up... MANY times. When top HEAD coaches come to games, the player ain't no five-star... It's that rare "six-star". These do NOT grow on trees... There are maybe 3-5 per decade in each gender. A high-school fan can go YEARS without seeing one of these gems on the court, let alone having a chance to watch them multiple times... I've been lucky... In addition to seeing Paige online since her soph year at Hopkins, and to a much lesser extent Caitlin Clark, my elbow-rub claim to fame is seeing most of Jason Kidd's high-school games in the flesh. Like Paige, he was like 20 levels above everyone on the court, and big-name HS head coaches like Dean Smith and Lute Olson got into games whenever they could. I'm not good at spotting famous faces, but my then-wife was REALLY good at it. She would point them out for me. :) [/QUOTE]
