Message: [QUOTE="BuffaloHusky, post: 2145439, member: 1003"] Quick story re: St. Anthony's. I worked for a television show back in 80's when Bob Hurley Jr. was a junior. We named a tri-state 1st team all-star team that year. The team had two guards and they were: 1) Kenny Anderson & 2) Chris Smith. The next year the 1st team was Bobby Hurley Jr. and Khalid Reeves and Bobby Hurley Sr. was coach of the year. In fact, St. Anthony's was national champs. To make a long story short... Bob Hurley Sr. took me aside before we taped and told me that Bobby was really disappointed that he didn't make first team the year before and used it for motivation all year. I didn't know at first whether Bob Sr. was breaking my balls but he then smiled before saying... "that Chris Smith is a heck of player too." I laughed about it but always wondered did Bobby Jr. use it as motivation or was Bobby Sr. using it to motivate Bobby. All we know is Bobby won a HS Championship and 2 NCAA's. Bobby Sr., in the meantime, remains arguably the greatest HS coach ever. [/QUOTE]
