Rhode Island assistant coach Jim Carr is crying in his hotel room on a Tuesday night in Utica, New York. He's trying to keep it together, but this is his son we're talking about.
His son is dead.
Brayden Carr, a beautiful young boy gone 80, 90, maybe 100 years too soon. The wound is still open even though it's been more than five years since he passed. Brayden suffered from sporadic epileptic seizures from the time he was six months old up until he was taken form the world at the age of 2 1/2.
"He spent the last 100 days of his life fighting to live," Carr said.
