Message: [QUOTE="LETTERL, post: 3042701, member: 4687"] Lefty was one of my favorite coaches in what I called the Golden Era of the ACC. Lefty, K, Dean Smith, Jimmy V, Cremins, Carl Tacy, Terry Holland. The conference was smaller and more intimate back then. I have a little story about my one and only meeting with Lefty. After the Len Bias scandal led to Driesell's ouster at Maryland, he found a second career in broadcasting ACC games. I think it was 1988, he was at NC State to broadcast a basketball game. I was walking on campus with a few buddies and we look up, and Lefty is coming out of the Student Center, eating an ice cream cone. We walk up to him and he couldn't have been more welcoming. We all were walking toward the same area of campus and we must have spent 10 minutes, sharing a walk with Lefty Driesell, talking ACC hoops. It is one of my many fond memories from my time at NC State. [/QUOTE]
