How would Haskins’ tough love work in the pay-for-play, immediate transfer era? Medved could only smile at that thought.
Did Haskins ever put on a shooting exhibition for the student managers?
“Not often with those knees, but I remember we played St. John’s in the Garden, and we’re having a shootaround,” Medved said. “There were Knicks around, John Starks, those guys. Clem goes down to the basket, grabs a ball, and he banks in a layup, and keeps moving back, and he keeps making shots, and pretty soon he’s out there 20-some feet, and still making ’em.
“And he says, ‘I still got it.’ ”
Clem the Gem. Niko loves the guy. Which is good enough for me.
Welcome back, coach. Good luck in taking the dreariness out of old Barn.
