It was the heart of winter in 1979 when Bob Staak, who was in Cincinnati to interview for the Xavier University men's basketball head coach position, emerged from the airport and met Dr. Bill Daily for the first time.
"It was a winter day," Staak said. "He picked me up at the airport and he had like a Volkswagen Bug. It was probably 25 degrees out and there was ice on the windshield. He was riding me back to the hotel before the interview and we could barely see out of the damn window."
Daily could see, though.
