It's legit. It's all over the office here at Clear Channel. It should be coming across the wires any minute now.

I'd happen to turn on channel 12 news, they were reporting that he'd collapsed......then midway thru reported that he'd passed away due to heart attack.

Saw it on Channel 12 News when I got home. :(

I never did and still don't care for Xavier, but I liked Skip....he was a cool cat and rather successful everywhere he coached.....only D1 coach to ever put 3 different schools into the NCAA year-end tourney in his first year at each school. :bigthumb

I HATE B-Ball for the most part........

But there are people like Skip that are above the rest in leadership and kindness as well as having a vision of what they wish to accomplish.

I think everyone here can see where I'm going with that thought.
