Finally, somebody I know is now featured in bronze.

Maryland basketball coach Lefty Driesell was honored on April 16 by former players and boosters with a bas relief wall in Comcast Center next to a large center court used in Cole Field House where Driesell coached from 1969-87.

Lefty was a colorful coach who won, a great combination that ended in the aftermath of Len Bias’ 1987 death. But he’s still arguably the most popular local coach ever and the tribute was long overdue. Driesell is depicted standing by the fan yelling at probably officials during a game.
