Fred Whitacre was the most
colorful basketball coach in the history of Sir George Williams
University. A lifelong pal and lover of life, Fred went on
to become a legendary executive in Major League Baseball.
He resides in Colorado Springs with his wife Mary Anne
"Pix", only leaving for frequent trips to Paris and
Europe when he hears that I'm planning a visit. One of
Fred's memorable moments at Sir George came when he had to run
the Sir George "International Invitational Annual
Basketball Tournament", and coach the team at the same
time, because the athletic director's car would only run
backwards.
