Some guys coach. Some guys win championships. Some guys achieve at high levels. But only a few guys make a difference. Scott Davenport made a difference.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — Dean Smith had Bill Guthridge, Adolph Rupp had Harry Lancaster and Denny Crum had Jerry Jones.

Before there was Darrell Griffith, Pervis Ellison or any other recruit who believed in Denny Crum's basketball vision at the University of Louisville, somebody had to be first to commit to a rookie coach.

He passed away at the age of 86.

So it's Kentucky that needs to win. No, it's Louisville, dummy. Actually, it's just another thing to fuss about in this rivalry.

Sometimes there isn't only one item that deserves a headline. Sometimes there are several interesting notes.
