College Basketball Hall of Fame

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the 3rd annual college basketball Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Since I have an amazing fiance, she was able to get me on the "inside" and I served as a team host for Kansas and a personal host for Coach Self.

**Sidenote...The event probably ranked as one of the Top 5 things I've ever done. I challenge you to go through and make a list of the Top 5 things you've been able to do in your life. I'm working on mine**

I heard a million stories and am still in the process of trying to piece together everything that happened. Since I spent the entire evening with Coach Self, I have many things that come to mind about him. I'll share this story...

It was time for us to move from the "private dinner" to the floor for the induction ceremony. Coach and I were chatting on our way to the floor when we got stopped and asked by a Sprint Center security person for our "passes". I immediately thought to myself, "Don't they know who this guy is?" Before I could get anything out of my mouth, Coach Self says, "oh yeah, here, it's in my pocket give me a second."

So instead of pulling a "don't you know who I am", or looking at me and saying "take care of this", the man fresh off the National Championship, the pinnacle of his profession, has enough humility to pull out a 3x5 pass.

He was that way the entire night, humble and down to earth.
