I was traveling on business and the hotel we wanted to stay at was full. We hit the road driving further on toward our destination when I saw a sign for the “Steve Alford All-American Inn.” I decided we would check it out.
In the middle of nowhere Indiana, we came upon a giant sneaker. It was a giant UCLA sneaker. The hotel sign, in basketball crazy Indiana, said “Go Bruins!” Then, the fun started. We entered the shrine to New Castle, Indiana’s most famous prodigy, Steve Alford.
Behind the hotel desk were four decked-out lockers for each of the schools where Alford has coached.
