We also were going to play Portland but the deal fell through. Given the circumstance I would have gone with the D2 school as well. Switching gears, a friend of mine asked if TJ could be the next Bill Zoph. I thought about that, and although freshman were not eligible back then, and Bill was left handed, in one respect his hustle, leadership, and drive to win could be a comparison.

That's a tall order, CLK. -- VBC, Monday, November 15, 06:44:28pm

BTW, and some of you older guys would know this better than me, but I've been thinking about who Billy Clark reminds me of, and the guy I keep coming back to is Mike Rice. Billy's taller, stronger and more athletic, but he plays taller than his actual height, brings the tough on every play, and shoots the ball well. Rice went on to a coaching career ... I think Billy mentioned in The Duke that the question of him (Clark) coaching one day has come up. (NT) -- El Duque, Tuesday, November 16, 12:51:02pm
- Mike was more of a scraper, kicking a hole in the bass drum at the Palestra, standing on rebounders feet, etc. He also was a Honerable Mention All America. Billy is more of a scorer. (NT) -- philldogg, Tuesday, November 16, 01:03:39pm
