The bronze statue of Don James will overlook Montlake Boulevard and be revealed Friday evening.
The security guard stationed in the northwest plaza outside Husky Stadium was eager Thursday afternoon to enforce a strict no-pictures policy. He had the look of a linebacker in pursuit of a ball carrier. Around him, six black makeshift curtains and a row of DO NOT ENTER yellow tape added another layer of security.
All this, and more, for Don James.
A little more than 24 hours before the larger-than-life coach was to be immortalized at the University of Washington, three workers used heavy-duty epoxy to secure in place the 500-pound bronze statue that will, starting Friday evening, overlook Montlake Boulevard.
