Happy 88th Birthday Legendary St John's University Coach Lou Carnesecca

Little known fact. Many years ago I played on one of the most famous basketball teams in NYC history. The St John's Redmen before it was politicallly correct! (now the Red Storm) the only team to every go to the final four! with players like Mark Jackson Chris Mullin Walter Berry shelton jones Mike Moses Willie Glass and Bill Wennington. The only thing more famous then that team was it's Coach. I had a blast celebrating Coach's 88th Birthday it was especially good to see so many St John's Alumni including George Johnson, Bob Kelly, Walter Berry, Jeff Allen, Jason williams, Boo Harvey, Zendon Hamilton. Thank you all for the jokes and memories!
