As UConn and San Diego State battle it out tonight for the NCAA men’s basketball title, today we are revisiting an interview I did a few years ago with the coach of a team that won one of the most thrilling NCAA victories ever.
Jim valvano was coach at North Carolina State when the team won the 1983 title in a thrilling game.
But by the end of the 1980s, valvano was out as NC State coach.
I met him in early 1991, when he wrote a book about his coaching experience.
So here now, from 1991, Jim valvano.
Jim valvano was diagnosed with cancer a little over a year after our interview, and he died in April of 1993, at the age of 47.
