Just twenty minutes before one of the biggest games of his coaching career, Gophers coach John Anderson had an important call to make.
His daughter’s phone buzzed as she was traveling to the airport for a flight to Baltimore. When her phone lit up, she was surprised her dad was calling moments before an NCAA Regional Championship game against UCLA at Siebert Field.
Erin Anderson picked up the phone with her dad on the other end. He said, “are you on the way to airport?” That’s when the long-time manager and his daughter were overcome with emotion.
