Dear Coach Karam....

Dear Thomas "Skippy" Karam,
                                                How did you manage to train Chris to get recruited by college scouts and coaches? How did you become friends with the head coach of Kentucky basketball, Rick Pitino? It must've been hard to coach players that would talk back to you. Why didn't you retire and let your assistant coach take the job, so you can spend more time with your son? Did Shawn Tames manange to be a great player, despite the fact that only one African-American in Durfee High School basketball history became the greatest? Did you coach your best players to be good, or is it just natural talent? Do you ever regret not having enough time to do something fun with your son? Can you give me any tips on how I can get recruited by basketball coaches and scouts? Who do you considered your greatest players of all time? Has Dan Callahan, Peter Sunseon, Jeff Carson, Chris Herren and Michael Herren got into a NCAA D1 basketball team or the NBA? How did it feel like to have Chris Herren treat you unfair?



                                                              Sincerely,
                                                                                 Dennis Lum
