I thought this was a pretty good read, and well-done piece, especially for an IDS piece. Well done Caleb Coffman!
enjoyable read...a trip down memory lane. It's a shame that RMK will go to his grave holding steep grudges against some people who still hold him in high regard. I loved reading SOTB...one of the few books I actually read twice in my life. Maybe the only one.
And RIP Daryl Thomas. Soft spoken polite kid who had balls of steel to stick it out for 4 yrs, and helped hang the 87 banner.

his toughness was forged through the adversity of the SOB year. Physically by being an undersized center in the league (and benefitting in the shift over w/ big Dean in 87), but just as importantly the mental strength that was forged in the fires of BK adversity.
That team went through a lot of adversity, without it they are not the same mentally tough team in ‘87.

The photo of Dakich says that he's talking to Joby Wright. Is that Joby? It's hard to tell -- but I think it looks like Scott May.
so true...that Reg final game vs LSU was a war. We were lucky to win that game. I still occasionally have nightmares of Jose Vargus.
Also lucky that Derrick Coleman couldn't hit free throws with the world watching.
And Shaq at the free throw line, crazy stat
Wright has had a full head of hair as he's aged . . . that pic's gotta be May.
Did someone fix the caption on the picture? The one I see mentions Dakich talking with May, not Joby. It's absolutely Scott May.
Must have, the caption said Joby Wright when posted last night.
Ah, I guess they changed it. Welp, glad we got that one put to bed.
Correction added to the bottom of the story.
Caleb Coffman is an excellent writer for the IDS.
Something like that. I recall Damon lofting a floater over Shaq, off the glass, and in.
I remember thinking how Shaq made Calbert look like he was 4 feet tall and sub 100 lbs. He was a beast then. Now he's a monster. But still a kid at heart.
