Message: [QUOTE="CamrnCrz1974, post: 2649589, member: 1052"] [I]Joanne Boyle, who retired Tuesday after seven seasons at the helm of the University of Virginia's women's basketball program, likely will never become a hall of fame coach. But that's OK. To me she is -- and always will be -- a hall of fame human being. Here's why: In October of 2002, Boyle was very nearly late for her first practice as the new head coach at the University of Richmond. As she drove toward the Robins Center, she saw an elderly man in distress on the shoulder of College Road. He had slipped on loose gravel and fallen. He could not climb to his feet. Boyle stopped to assist. She helped the man into her car and drove him to his home. He asked to be taken into the TV room. Once there, he asked that the television be tuned to NBC for that afternoon's Notre Dame football game. Boyle did as the man requested. She made certain that he was comfortable and calm before leaving for practice. Then she did something remarkable. She returned after practice to not only check on the man but also to watch some of the football game with him. I know this because I knew the man. He was my father. Good luck and Godspeed, Joanne. You're something special. [/I] -- Vic Dorr ([URL='https://www.facebook.com/vic.dorr/posts/10211299665556467']via Facebook[/URL]) [/QUOTE]
