How long have you been involved or how did you get involved in DePaul Athletics?Since 1982, when I joined the DePaul Finance faculty, all my colleagues were big fans and some of them actually let me come on their tickets. The games were all sold-out, so even as a faculty I had trouble getting tickets. I finally got my season tickets in 1984, and have had them since. Now I go with my wife, who "used to sit right behind Ray and Joey" -she actually did in the 70s, in the Alumni Hall.Why do you choose to give to DePaul Athletics?I believe in the program and the values we instill in our athletes. The programs really embody all we are proud of as part of the DePaul faminy.How does DePaul represent your values?Hard work and opportunity for many who would not otherwise go to college and are frequently the first generation college students in their families.What is your favorite DePaul Athletics moment?As the "team Jinx", every away game I attended (notably Notre Dame) we lost. My friends got Bill Bradshaw, then the AD, to send me a letter banning me from attending any away game. In 1986, we hosted the first round NCAA games, and played St. John's. Since we weren't the home team, my friends made me leave the Horizon, with a minute and a half left and us down by six. I sat in the car and didn't turn to the radio on so I would have any chance of continuing the jinx. Dallas Comegys made the first of two free throws, and deliberately missed the second, with only a few seconds left. We got the rebound, scored to tie the game and won in overtime. I didn't know we won until people started coming out of the arena with smiles on their faces nearly 30 minutes later.Who is your all-time favorite Blue Demon student-athlete?Malik Murray, a student of mine.

How did playing at DePaul Prepare you for the NBA?DePaul prepared me for the NBA by allowing me to compete against the top players in the country.What was your greatest memory as a professional player?My greatest memory as a professional came when we beat the Los Angeles Clippers to end a 17 game losing streak.What was your greatest DePaul memory?My greatest memory of my DePaul days was beating St. John’s in overtime in the 1987 NCAA tournament.Who was the toughest player to guard?The toughest opponent to guard was without question Michael Jordan.What were your feelings before your first game?The thing i remember most about my first NBA game was that I was very nervous.
