Sean Woods and The Fear of Extinction

“Pat Riley told us something when he came to visit us my senior year at Kentucky. He said that mans biggest fear is the fear of extinction and the fear of going through life not being a part of something and not being known.” – Sean Woods

Current Morehead State head coach and Kentucky legend Sean Woods is reflective on his role in the infamous 1992 East Regional Final that saw Duke beat Kentucky on Christian Laettner’s buzzer-beater. Although Woods admits that game has had a significant impact on his life, you get the sense that he refuses to let one night or one game define who he is as a person.
