Very well written story. It told about a side of Craig Drury I didn't know.
um, Provo lost this year.
Craig has always been a class guy. I was a sophomore at Provo when Craig & Stu were seniors. I have been following them both through out their coaching careers. You can see the defense philosophy of Jim Spencer in the way both Craig and Stu coach. I was never a big fan of Coach Spencer, I didn't like the way he handled players, but his basketball coaching knowledge for defense and offense was respected by players and coaches alike. In this article it doesn't mention Craig sat out nearly his entire senior season with a broken wrist and didn't play until the State Tournament. Provo has had a Basketball Dynasty for many years before Craig got there. He just kept the tradition going. Great job Craig.
You know a good coach when he picks you on an 11-12 year old team at a byu basketball camp and you remember him 32 years later cuz' he guided you to a championship.
Coach that was a fun week.....
Thanks for the memories.
