When you look at Tim Hightower’s story how much resonates with his teammates given that he was named the Ed Block award winner?
“His teammates voted on that. I’m going to say (he was) a perfect candidate. He is tremendously respected in the locker room and in all my years coaching I don’t know that I’ve been part of a team with a more worthy Ed Block candidate than Tim Hightower. I mean what he has been through and how he’s overcome (adversity) and if you knew all of his story and you heard him speak about his story it’s pretty impressive.
