Really good coach and great personality. His program smelled a little fishy at the end, so there was a scandal that was probably bigger than it should have been since he was the AD at NCSt at the time as well. Forced to resign, which I thought was a shame because I liked him and figured he probably didn't break any rules per se so much as violated the spirit of the law. Spent some time in the booth after NCSt and was really good, but very soon he got too sick to work anymore.

Jim Valvano was sort of a mix between Al McGuire, Dick Vitale, and John Calipari.

I can go along with this.... His ESPY speech is one for the history books... Something you just can't NOT watch again and what a message it sends............. I will never forget that magical run in 1983... And it all ended like a dream.. With him just running around the court looking for somebody to hug....
