PRESIDENT AND CEO John Doleva was making what has become a routine phone call for him after more than 20 years with the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
On the other end of the line was New Orleans Pelicans vice president of basketball operations Swin Cash.
Cash had cleared her schedule on March 28 to be available during the window that Doleva was supposed to call. But as time ticked away, Cash realized her youngest son, Syer, needed a diaper change. So Cash, who had been waiting years for this exact call, politely put Doleva on hold.
