Prep legends Rudy Carey and Dick Kotte proof basketball wisdom never grows old via markkiszla copreps
The two philosopher kings of Colorado prep hoops, with 17 state championships and nearly 1,800 victories between them, crossed paths in a quiet corner of the Denver Coliseum, far from view of an amped-up crowd buzzing in anticipation of the biggest game of the season.
“Don’t make it about me, Kiz. It’s all about these kids. I was just a fraction of what happened here,” Carey told me. “If D’Aundre Samuels isn’t the player of the year, there shouldn’t be one named.” “This championship is a lot about coach,” Samuels said. “I’m very proud to be part of his legacy. He’s inspirational.”
