Jim Counce offered plenty of wonderful original thoughts about Eddie Sutton’s selection to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame last week, but pointed to an older comment from Kentucky’s Kenny Walker.
“What Kenny Walker said may be the best of anything I’ve seen tweeted in the last few days,” Counce said. “The idea that he played all those years in the NBA and learned more in one year under Coach Sutton says a lot.”
In an interview two years ago, the man they dubbed Sky Walker offered high praise for his former Kentucky coach.
“He’ll go down as one of the great college coaches of all time,” Walker said.
