Message: [QUOTE="Ricker, post: 3523210, member: 1245"] Anecdote: When Utah played Jordan and the Chicago Bulls for the Championship in 1996-1997, I happen to watch one of the games with Utah's ex Coach and GM, Frank Layden, at a hotel bar in Cooperstown, NY. Scott Layden I believe was the GM at that time and Frank was still associated with the team, but this trip to NY was an annual pilgrimage to meet with his 'coaching tree' from his Niagra college coaching days as a reunion. Everybody around me at the bar was a head or assistant coach at some pro or college level. Layden had been Calvin Murphy's coach. He was gregarious and happy to share his time with my group as well. I'm sure someplace I still have his business card with an invitation to present it in Utah anytime and get the royal treatment at a game. Card was in the shape and color of a basketball. Just a tidbit that only boneyarders might find of interest. [/QUOTE]
