QUOTE TO NOTE: "This is obviously a very sad day for the game of basketball, whether you are associated with the NBA, college or high school ranks. A countless number of coaches and players benefitted from Pete's tutelage over the years and will be indebted to him for the expertise and wisdom that he provided." -- Don Nelson, commenting on the death Monday of legendary coach and basketball consultant Pete Newell.
