Kansas assistant basketball coach Norm Roberts supported fellow KU staff members Kurtis Townsend, Jeremy Case and former Jayhawks guard Jeff Hawkins at Saturday’s “Over the Edge” rappelling event from the safety of ground level in downtown Lawrence.
“Slight grief, but not much,” Roberts said, smiling on Monday, asked if he took some good-natured teasing from his peers for passing on the exercise — a descent down the seven-story 888 Lofts apartment complex for charity.
“I’m scared of heights. I know I’m scared of heights, so there was no way I was getting up there,” Roberts added.
