high tops might actually encourage ankle injury like theyre way too flexible to offer actual support but they can provide a fulcrum where the upper bends to smash yr ankle

In tears just heard.I can't think of another coach or executive that seemed like a more genuine guy.Little story: he's had a weekly call in withour local sports talk station called Flip's Friday Funkadelic, I guess he was a huge fan of classic r&b and funk.
Anyway they broadcast from the State Fair every year and he would always make a point of winning a stuffed animal at the basketball shooting carnival game and bringing it for the host's daughter. I guess he was still such a good shot they'd only let him play once.

this isn't the best written thing but trust me this dude is a former daily columnist at the Star Tribune and now a daily sports talk host and he is the BIGGEST curmudgeon/cynical type talk host in town and he's not like this ever:
ust the other day, I was telling somebody a story about Flip Saunders. My sister, Babbi, has coached high school basketball in the Chicago suburbs for more than 30 years. A couple years ago, she was running through a tough stretch. I happened to mention it to Flip during one of our usual stream-of-consciousness phone calls.
.........
“What’s her phone number?” he asked.
“You want to call her?”
“Sure, let me talk to her.”
He called the next day. They had a nice conversation, which made her day. That was Flip, at least with me, the rarest of sports breeds: Not so self-absorbed that he ever forgot there was an outside world, with people trying to live in it.
He rarely failed to ask: How’s that wife and daughter of yours? Enjoy Gia, he’d say, because all that stuff about them growing up fast is true. Every year when he showed up to talk to us at the State Fair, he’d first make a stop along the midway, win big at the free throw shooting contest, then present her with a giant stuffed animal.
A couple Thanksgivings ago, out of nowhere, he texted this: “Dan: Happy Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for -- family, friends and health. Enjoy the day with your sisters and family. I value the friendship we have. Flip”
I come from the school of journalism that says you cannot be friends with those you attempt to cover and analyze. I’ve tried hard to stick to it, but that line became blurred with Flip, and looking back on it, I don’t think he gave me any choice. He was just too damned generous.
