RIP Lefty.

Two things. I for some reason thought he had already died. The fact that he made in HOF in 2018 is laughable....what took them so long. Maryland was called the UCLA of the East.

Driesell made the claim that Maryland was the 'UCLA of the East'. He didn't live up to it.

Yeah because almost no one but UCLA was winning titles then.

Tom Roy recruiter.

I saw Lefty at a Bridgeport JCC all-star game. Not sure who he was recruiting, maybe Rod Foster. All I remember is that he had a very large head. He successfully recruited some very highly-rated players like Tim McMillen and Len Elmore.

Growing up in Maryland, I was a Terps fan when Lefty arrived and vowed to make Maryland the UCLA of the east. He almost had Moses Malone before he decided to turn pro. RIP Coach, and thanks for the memories.

No because he couldn't win his conference.

Tom Roy would be a god now if he went to UConn.
