IT'S UP TO MANAGER: QUIT TALKING, OR QUIT
BY MIKE LUPICA
This is about the late Jack Donohue, a great basketball character who coached Lew Alcindor at Power Memorial, went on from there to coach at Holy Cross. One night at Holy Cross, Donohue's team lost a game at the buzzer. On his way off the court, he was confronted by an angry fan who didn't think Donohue had handled things on the bench the way someone like John Wooden would have.
The fan got right in Donohue's face, and let him have it pretty good. The whole time he was yelling, Donohue never said anything.
Until he finally said: "We have to stop now."
"Why?" the fan said.
"Because," Jack Donohue said, "if we stand here any longer people might start to think I'm the a---."
