March 17, 201412 yr I'm watching the ESPN documentary on the Big East and they're showing highlights of the 1982 championship game between Georgetown and UNC (Ewing/Jordan). It's one of those games I can clearly remember where I was when I watched it. I was at my buddy's house in Burlington. You remember where you were?
March 17, 201412 yr Soph year if HS, watching game at home. Were Jordan and Ewing both Freshmen that season?
March 17, 201412 yr 15 yo at the time...in my living room in Eden, NC, watching my Tarheels. And I remember screaming "no"! When Jordan shot the jumper from the wing, then going crazy when he hit it, and Worthy being so surprised when he got the ball he almost didn't know what to do. But I was VERY happy.

I always thought Dean Smith was overrated, only saying that because of the amount of time he coached at UNC over 30+ years and only won the NCAA twice, and both times won the games when the opposing team with a chance to win at the end of the games turned the ball over on brain cramp type of plays. (First title game Georgetown with a chance at the end of the game passes James Worthy the ball instead of another Georgewtown player, and the Michigan Chris Webber timeout game at the end) He was a good coach, don't take this as me saying he wasn't. I'm just saying coaching about 4 decades and only 2 titles doesn't scream to me great coach.
March 17, 201412 yr Was driving from Frankfort to Richmond with some friends in my VW and we had a portable TV on batteries trying to pick it up on bunny ears. Worked but it was blurry.

March 17, 201412 yr I feel Pitino is a great coach but only has two titles. I've always wondered what Pitino's career arc might have looked like if he hadn't first left Providence for the NBA and then did it again from Kentucky.
