Message: [QUOTE="Chief00, post: 3965084, member: 11108"] Chief did study everything I could about Jim, he was a uniquely successful coach, who earned every success he had through hard work, smarts toughness and the power of his personality. I try to learn things from successful people. Chief was fortunate enough to know him some and share stories and laughs with others who knew him. I also studied Red Auerbach, which help me understand his basketball philosophies, some of which ran counter to his public image. I sense he appreciated me backing guys in certain ways when it was unpopular - Clyde V and Nate Miles come to mind. At any rate, he was always great to me and the couple times I asked him for a small favor, he did it in a heartbeat. [/QUOTE]
