Chris Murray has a column up about the legacy of David Carter and the opening is a must read:
"Wolf Pack basketball coach David Carter was fired this week after 16 seasons with the program, including the last six as the team's head coach. To some, his legacy will be that of ending the unprecedented success Nevada started in the early 2000s and extended nearly a decade. To me, his legacy is this: Carter is one of the finest human beings I've ever met, which is rare in an occupation rife with egomaniacs. Carter treated everybody the same. He never changed who he was when he became a head coach. He never treated people poorly. Who Carter was as a person will stick with me far longer than his win-loss record, which, for the record, was 98-97 overall with one WAC championship, two NIT appearances and four losing seasons in six seasons as Nevada's coach..."
That's the most important measure of any human being.
