I had the opportunity to meet Rick Pitino. I have a picture with him. I’d share it but I still had a lot of baby weight in the picture - I gained 85 lbs with a child that weighed 5’13” at birth. And people wondered why I only had one? Do you know how hard it is to lose 85 freaking pounds???

That aside, he was amazing to talk to one on one and he told me he was impressed by my basketball knowledge (I was asking he would rather recruit a one and done like a Carmelo or a raw but unproven athlete like Okafor - this was in 2005 or 2006). He said you would take both because you never knew who would pan out and you needed the best players you could get. You would hope you had lighting in a bottle with Anthony and that Okafor would develop just like he did. That didn’t always happen. Then he said, “you really know your hoops”.

Great thing about the pic is that I’m taller than him. And I’m not tall and I’m not wearing more than a 1 inch heel!
