Is the link for the full service? I DVR'd it but I didn't set it up for extra time and it cut off while Coach Smith's daughter was speaking.

I was there and it was very , very well done. No charge for parking and concession was open serving only free soft drinks. Mickey Bell also did a great remembrance with a lot of self deprecating humor. He is a class act.

I honestly didn't remember Mickey Bell, but really enjoyed listening to him.

How many on here attended? Not judging , just asking.

If the link doesn't work just go to ESPN.com and look under NCAA basketball and it is highlighted there.

I was there with my son and my oldest daughter. Very moving. I was glad I was there.

I was there, wouldn't have missed it for anything! All speakers were great in their own way. I thought Montross came across as absolutely brilliant!

Montross and Roy stood out to me the most but all the speakers were just awesome.

I almost didn't go yesterday but Lord I am glad I went.

I recorded and watched it last night. I honestly enjoyed Mickey Bell the most, despite being least familiar with him. I can't get enough of the stories of how Coach Smith treated regular people. I wish there were a collection of this type of thing compiled in a book.
