I am sure I don't know him as well as some on the board, but I do know him and I know that he loves basketball, and loves Marshall Basketball. At one time about a decade or less ago, he was also as supportive of MU football, traveled extensively to the games. We've spent time at away games and at home as well.
He supports the team in ways most of us can't and cares about the young men personally. We could use a thousand more like him, considering that he didn't even attend Marshall. I don't always agree with him, but he is a good, honest, hard working supporter of the Herd and Herd basketball in particular. I do believe there have been times when he has had DD's ear, and also times when he has carried DD's messages. I'm good with both of those things.
Hopefully he'll be back, I'll see him occasionally if he doesn't, but think he has had great things to add to these boards over time.
