Outgoing coach Randy Rahe is reflecting on his 16 years with WeberStateMBB, and of course, his most famous player, trailblazers point guard Dame_Lillard.
Upon retiring after 16 years with the Wildcats, he concedes even he was “oblivious” to just how good star guard Damian Lillard had become in his final season.
“People were asking me the other day: ‘What are you gonna miss the most?’ I’ll be honest with you — I’m not gonna miss practices, not gonna miss the games. What I’m gonna miss is the relationships,” he said. “Hanging out with my staff, hanging out with the players, having the players over to my house and Laura spoiling them.”It’s still hard to believe that the NBA superstar was so lightly recruited out of his hometown in Oakland that he wound up in Ogden.
“I was like, ‘What in the world is going on?’ I was oblivious to all this stuff, Damian being on draft boards. I was just trying to win the next game, that’s all I knew,” Rahe said. “So I remember grabbing one of the NBA GMs who came to our practice, and we’re talking about Dame, and I looked at him and I says, ‘Am I gonna lose Damian?’ And he starts. And he says, ‘Well, yeah, you’re gonna lose him. He’s gonna be a top-10 pick.
He wanted Laura by his side Tuesday to share in the attention. After all, she was retiring, too, from 16 years spent supervising student-teachers at the university, and from a 30-year career as an NCAA Division I women’s referee.
