Message: [QUOTE="Ricker, post: 4395240, member: 1245"] Got to spend a couple hours with Frank Layden and his coaching tree at a hotel bar in Cooperstown NY. Surprising thing is that we were watching live on tv, a Utah Jazz playoff game and Layden was the Jazz President. He had been Calvin Murphy's coach at Niagra, and this was a scheduled reunion with about 6-8 of his old coaches. Gave me his card in the shape and design of a basketball with a note on the back for free admission if I got to Utah, which was effectively giving nothing, but much appreciated. That day I met him first at the hall of fame, then a local bar on the lake, then a third time at the hotel where he included myself and a couple others with his entourage. Very personable to us. Nice to have his name come up in this thread with other people fondly remembering him. [/QUOTE]
