Looks like Marcus got lots of good stuff from Clem:
“I told Richard when he got the job at Minnesota,” Haskins said last week. “I like Richard. I said, ‘Richard, one thing you must commit to do is go get Richard Coffey’s son. Whatever you do, you’ve got to get him to come to Minnesota when he graduates.’”
Haskins, of course, was talking about Amir Coffey, who was a standout freshman for the Gophers this season. The 6-foot-8 former Hopkins guard ranked second on the team in scoring, assists and minutes played while earning All-Big Ten freshman honors.
Richard Coffey played for Haskins from 1987-1990, which included a Sweet 16 in 1989 and Elite Eight in 1990. Amir Coffey was in the ninth grade when Pitino was hired four years ago.
“But (friends in Minnesota) were telling me about him,” Haskins said, “that he was going to be a player.”
