Lou C Statue

[quote="SLYFOXX1968" post=284644]It appears that Beast and others , have obtained more info than what was originally disclosed on the first postings . Seems like a wee bit of chicanery by the Sculptor . Let me make the Statue first and then try and sell it to St John’s . If that fails , let me call the Newspaper and give them a story . Good work by several posters in getting the whole truth out .[/quote]

True Sly!
To add to the information obtained it seems a rough casting of the statue doesn't even look like Lou.

Nice statue, but a tad misproportioned. Louie looks taller than Joe Lapchick.

I had the pleasure to speak with Jack Kaiser at Acquista Trattoria before a basketball game the season before last. I will always remember what he said. I can understand why Lou would want to be honored alongside him.
 
[quote="redken" post=284596]Unbelievable ... but then it took 52 years following his retirement for the university to finally put a statue of Joe Lapchick on campus, so are we really surprised with how it's treating Louie? Pathetic.[/quote]

Really? They Named the Arena and the court after him. ..and you're crying about a Bronze Statue taking too long? Sometimes people on this board complain for the sake of complaining.
 
It's going to happen. The more people that msg the athletic department with desire to donate, the faster the school will pull trigger. So for all of you who want it to happen , just contact the school and let them know they can count on you
