“A lot of coaches get involved in a lot of different things - car deale...” — Jim Boeheim Quote

A lot of coaches get involved in a lot of different things - car dealerships and restaurants and all kinds of things. I've never really done that.

For 'King Cole's American Salvage,' I rode around in the wrecker with a local driver and watched him deal with customers and hook up the cars. I watched the guy who tore apart the cars in the junkyard. I also wrote poems about those guys. I loved hanging around the yard.

I do kung fu. I box. I ride horses. I like to race cars in a crazy way.
