Mike Carey had a strange little day
February 4, 2010 by Mike CasazzaThe WVU women’s basketball coach arrived at the alumni center for Thursday’s joint groundbreaking for the basketball practice facility and the physics department’s White Hall project — actually, make that a virtual groundbreaking — and after being told to wear khaki pants and a collared WVU shirt.
Whoops.
That’d be Mike Carey on the left with “Jim,” Bob Huggins and some donors. Again, Mike Carey.
As if it wasn’t odd enough to be so underdressed — and he noted as much — he then had a hard time finding his seat. Why?
Whoops.
Bruce, of course, is Mike’s older brother, the now-retired football coach at Bridgeport High. Mike Carey laughed it off. Huggins could not: “I’m glad to see you’ve made such an impression on these people since you’ve been here.”
In all seriousness, this was a pretty neat, very monumental event for the university.
