"I find myself going back just to enjoy good basketball. Must be in my DNA. Like my dad, I'm as interested in the players as I am in the game. Who are the leaders? How does a team handle a loss? Then in the coming years, I enjoy seeing which colleges the stars choose and how they do at the next level. Of course I will attend the Greenwood game, my former classmate's grandson is a Blue Jay."
