Fare Thee Well, Coach Ray Meyer

Coach Ray,

If there was ever a person who understood how sports can be used to create relationships with people from all walks of life, it was you.

If there was ever a person who understood that we should all be treated equally regardless of race, economic background, or athletic prowess, it was you.

You introduced and understood the importance of utilizing basketball to develop people.

Thank you for showing us how to be a leader. Thank you for showing us how the beauty of working as a team through basketball can bring us together within our urban communities.

Fare thee well, Coach Ray.
