Saturday Headlines: Remembering Mike Pratt Edition
Big Blue Nation was rocked on Thursday night as the news hit that Mike Pratt had passed at the age of 73. He was an All American basketball player at the University of Kentucky, an ABA player for the Kentucky Colonels, a basketball coach in college and the NBA, a broadcaster for Kentucky basketball, a radio host, and so much more.
I got to know Mike during my still young radio career. I didn’t get to know him on the level that most of my coworkers did, but the times I was able to speak and meet with him made an impression. Like so many others have said, he made you feel like you were his best friend. That’s not hyperbole.
