Funny things happen at in-home visits

[94 Hawg]

Leonard Hamilton's first in-home visit certainly was memorable. He was actually a part-time guy at Austin Peay and just one year removed from college. The full-time coach quit during the season so Hamilton hit the road recruiting. His first in-home was at the home of James "Fly" Williams in New York City. Hamilton arrived at the house at 7 p.m. and Fly's mother was the only one home. Hamilton connected well with the mother and they spoke for hours while waiting for Fly to come home. "We talked and talked," Hamilton said. "She was so unbelievably nice to me, but I was getting nervous." It was midnight and Hamilton was afraid that she was going to ask him to leave, so when Fly's mother wasn't looking, he turned the clock in the kitchen back to 10:30. "Every hour or so I'd turn the clock back," he said. "I tried not to ever let the clock get past midnight." It was 6 a.m. and Hamilton saw the sun starting to come up, so he then went over and pulled the blinds shut so she wouldn't see the sunlight. There was finally a knock on the door at 7 a.m. "Open up," Fly said. "It's me." Hamilton continued his in-home and the rest is history. Fly averaged 29.4 points per game as a freshman at Austin Peay.

This is some funny stuff right here:


The coach didn't want to be identified on this one and it's fairly clear why. We will tell you that it was a long-time New York-area coach who went into a local home with the entire family (kid, parents, grandmother, brother, sister) in attendance. He and the head coach wanted to put in a highlight tape to show the recruit, but the family said that the VCR was broken. They family proceeded to take a VCR out of one of the bedrooms. After the coach hooked up the wires, a tape that was already in the machine began to play and it wasn't basketball on the screen. It was a porn tape. The mother jumped across the coffee table to pull the plug on the movie. The two coaches in the room didn't flinch until they got a few blocks away and they started laughing so hard they began to cry.
