I’ve told this before, but it’s worth telling again. I was an editor for an educational publisher, and I tried to get Rick to be lead author on a series of books on success & academics speciifclaly for college ahtletes. I was looking to UA, Reebok, Nike to sponsor a big chunk of the production costs.
I approached Rick with the idea, and we had a couple of conversations about it. During one of our discussions, I told Rick how much I admired him. I loved his coaching approach and he was funny as hell. He paused and looked at me, and said, “why can’t you be a woman?” I almost wet my pants. Dude was a straight up comedian.
He signed and gave me one of his sweaters from one of his seasons. He only wore one per season. It’s hanging up on my wall in my office.
