TODAY AND WELCOME BACK TODAY. I WAS HONORED TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH THE LEGENDARY NOLAN RICHARDSON ON THE MORNING AFTER THE STREET OUTSIDE OF BUD WALTON ARENA WAS CHANGED TO NOLAN RICHARD. AND DRIVE TELL YOU WHAT IT WASN’T 40 MINUTES OF HELL. IN TIME WITH COACH TODAY MORE LIKE HOG WILD HEAVEN FOR ME. WE ALL KNEW NOLAN COULD COACH AND IN BUT WHO KNEW THAT HE DID IMPRESSIONS.
