Former Duke player Tony Barone 1965 - 1968 has passed away at 72. He was an assistant coach at Duke 72-74 and head coach at Creighton and for a as the Memphis Grizzlies head coach. I remember him small and fiesty. We seem to forget guys like Tony. We shouldn't and I haven't thought of him myself until we had the little big man thread. Those unfamilar should google him. Thought's and prayers go out to his family. OFC

Yeah, we do, Sky. He was and still is a Dukie. Rest in peace, Mr. Barone, and may God give your family strength and comfort during these times.
