What an Idea


Reminds me of years ago when Theresa Grentz, former Univ of Illinois women's basketball coach, started calling the gym where her teams played The Huff

"I call it The Huff," Grentz said. "When I first got here, people thought that was funny. We changed it from Huff Hall to The Huff. You know, the Vatican, the pope, the Bronx, The Huff. . . . It isn't pretty but it's ours. The Duke coach (Gail Goestenkors) just said to me, 'There isn't enough money in the world to bring my team back to The Huff.' The crowds here, the fans were great."
