R.I.P Coach Ray

Former DePaul University Basketball coach Ray Meyer died at 92 today. Coach Ray presided over the golden age of DePaul hoops, and coached George Mikan, Mark Aguirre, Dave Corzine and Terry Cummings among others. DePaul made the Final Four in 1979 under Coach Ray and was ranked No. 1 for a number of weeks in the late 70s and early 80s, only to disappoint with early NCAA exits. He was a class act, and I had the privilege of attending his basketball camp as an 8th grader. He loved kids, loved to coach and was a great teacher. Godspeed.
