While he's not much of a basketball player — "soccer is more my playing sport" — Eddie Diazmunoz certainly showed skill in coming up with the design for Lou Henson Court (above).
The coaching legend said so himself.
"He definitely had approval of the logo," said Diazmunoz, who got the thumbs up from Lou and MaryHenson at the unveiling ceremony Aug. 24. "Luckily, he was pleased with our first final, revised version. At the end of the day, he's the person that we really want to be happy with the logo."
Diazmunoz was raised in Mexico City before moving to Champaign at age 12 when his father, Eduardo Diazmunoz, was hired as a University of Illinois professor and Chair of Opera.
