South Carolina has a new head basketball coach this season. You’ll see him pacing in front of the away team’s bench in Rupp Arena tonight. Name’s Lamont Paris. He seems like a nice guy. He’s from Findlay, Ohio; went to the same high school as my wife; probably loves Dietsch’s ice cream, a Findlay treat. I love Dietsch’s. We served Dietsch’s chocolates in place of cake at our wedding. I should’ve invited Lamont Paris to welcome him to the Southeastern Conference.
So far in the Southeastern Conference, Paris’ first season is off to a slow start.
