putting on a clinic there. ND had Austin Carr, Bob Arnzen(I think) and Bob Whitmore on the floor. The Celtics were giving them a huge lesson playing three on three and then Auerbach says ok the next team to 3 wins. Carr proceeds to swish three corner jumpers to the delight of all of us there. Auerbach just smiles. He loved Carr. That night Russell and the others were at the pep rally going crazy mimicking the students and their defense cheers. Walking out after that pep rally I saw Russell about ten feet away from me and went over and touchned his shoulder just because I wanted to. He hated giving autographs but he never batted an eye at me for doing that. I was lucky. Two other nonfootball legends I have gotten within speaking distance to are Jack Nicklaus and Sandy Koufax. Both were incredibly humble and thanked me for my kind words to them. Imagine that.
