    A wonderful man, a damn good basketball sage.

    God bless him and all the things he's taught us.

    No, but I think he coached San Antonio for a while. Hes mostly known by his coaching stint(s) in Phoenix.

    Anybody know if Cotton was a smoker? I would like to know if smoking possibly contributed to his lung cancer.

    Too bad. One of my favorite coaches and commentators of all time--he could always make you laugh.

    RIP, Coach.
