Among my most ‘favorite’ assignments was the early career of Will Baker, the 7-foot basketball phenomenon who played at Westlake High School, then the University of Texas, University of Nevada (Reno), and finally Louisiana State University before exploring professional options. Austin, state and nationwide media attention was non-stop for years. The poise and grace with which Will handled the reporters was truly remarkable. He was a great student of media interactions and handled them all well. Now if he can finally get that chance at the NBA level he so richly deserves!
