I saw Donnie Marshall on a sports panel show with our Tarik Turner, and IMHO Donnie came across great, very articulate, relevant, smart and poised. He spoke fondly of how JC molded him into a man. He said for a lot of the inner City players with no fathers in their lives, JC could relate to them and help at least many of them. I forgot all about the Mineland thing, but probably so did Charles.
JC--I have no idea if he goes to Mass (I hear that he does, but so does John Calipari), I have no idea if he boxed(?). But I don't think anyone on here will disagree that he had a tough attitude. He left college when his father died when JC was a young teenager and helped his mom raise the other kids. He held many menial jobs along the way, and led his college team (American International U. in hardscrabble Springfield, MA) in scoring his Jr./Sr. year.
The man is in the BB HoF for cripes sake, and he has done a lot for College BB in the NE, let's not re-write history just because we don't like him.
George Blaney, nice guy, head coached at Holy Cross and he is staying on to assist Ollie. I think for Blaney to stay with JC for so long tells me that JC must have some good attributes. Blaney is a class-act all the way.
