Coach Cal makes a stop in Paducah...

Tonight was a special night for those of us on the western side of the state as Coach Cal spoke to nearly a thousand faithful in downtown Paducah. It was a great night and all the proceeds went to the United Way. Several of us from BBNR were able to attend and there will be plenty of pics and videos added throughout the week. The United Way of Paducah put on quite an event for all in attendance. Cal spoke mainly of his new book "Bounce Back" and I cannot wait to read it. There were also special guests in the house: Winston Bennett, Marie Jackson, Joe Craft, Rod Strickland and Orlando Antigua.

One of the nice moments of the night was when he spoke of the team. You could just see his excitement when he talked about the incoming class (who he said thinks they can poop ice cream) and those that are returning. He spoke highly of all the players but made special mention of Deandre Liggins, who he said was made for the dribble drive offense. He also said Mark Krebs was deserving of the final scholarship and just a great kid. From the way he spoke of Krebs none of us should be surprised if we see him get some floor time. Coach Cal is a great speaker and truly a funny guy.

A big thank you needs to go out to Coach Cal and his staff for coming down and the sponsors who made it happen.
