SMU basketball coaches and players will offer tips on ball handling, passing and shooting during a free basketball clinic for area Special Olympic athletes Saturday, Sept. 13, between 9 and 10:30 a.m. at the Crum Basketball Center on the SMU campus.
Although I have been inside Moody Coliseum, where the Mustangs play their home games, on many occasions for everything from athletic contests, to rock concerts to high school graduation ceremonies, the Crum Center is this $13 million, 43,000-square-foot state-of-the art practice and training facility adjacent to Moody designed, among other things, to attract a high-profile coach like Matt Doherty to SMU and to help him recruit athletes. It just opened its doors last year. It will be neat just to see this facility.
In addition, there will be a limited time after the clinic when the Special Olympians can get autographs from the instructors.
