But I wound up, Mike White invited me, and I wound up sitting right next to Danny Holzer and Tim McConnell.

Do you know how many Whitfield championships those two have combined to win?

Wrong.

15.

They've won 1,200 games and 15 Whitfield titles, and there I am watching basketball, the highest level Division II basketball you can find, and it was fascinating just seeing the game, imagining them watching it through their eyes.

I was peppering Holzer with questions.

Yeah, I really peppered Holzer and he was very kind.

But Bob, at halftime, I said, this is a column.

Plus, I didn't have an idea for this morning.

I'm sitting with these two.

Who else alive could I be sitting with?

Two coaches that have combined for 15 Whitfield titles and 1,200 wins or thereabouts.

Two of the best, no doubt.

So I plopped myself right between them.

I said, we're going to talk for 10 minutes.

And it was fun and it was great.

And you can see the photo of me between them and the column at Trib Live this morning, Bob, even though you never read my columns.

Yeah, I read them.

That's the first thing I used to do, Bob.

I'm saying I get to it.
