Naismith Hall Of Fame Finalist Lefty Driesell Thinks The Terps Can Win The National Championship
Lefty Driesell is a former college basketball coach who coached at Davidson, James Madison, Georgia State, and Maryland.
Lefty joined Ed and Steve to talk about being up for the Hall Of Fame, the Terps season, and Steph Curry being the best player in the NBA.
Lefty started by talking about being a finalist for the Naismaith Hall Of Fame saying "I was excited, but the finalist doesn't mean anything you have to get in...we'll see what happens." When asked about what it would mean to him to get into the Hall Of Fame Lefty said "it would mean a lot I spent my whole life ever since I was in the 2nd grade in basketball...I don't know anything except basketball and food, I like to eat."
Lefty also talked about the Terps and the season they're having and the talk he had with Maryland saying "I love those guys and I told them they can win the National Championship, and I wouldn't just say that...maybe I blew their heads up too big." As for his feelings on the current Terps head coach Lefty said "I think the world of Mark Turgeon I think he's a great coach...Maryland is very lucky to have him he is an excellent coach."
