Garry St. Jean interview about meeting Don Nelson

[Brian Marchiano]

I work M - F and in my free time conduct sports interviews with local people. Last week I spoke with Garry St. Jean. Most people remember Saint for his time with the Kings and Warriors. Learn how meeting Don Nelson in 1973 eventually led to Saint becoming an assistant coach with the Milwaukee Bucks thanks to an assist from referee Earl Strom. I will post the rest of the interview in the coming days. Thanks for watching.

St jean looked always stressed and worn out when he was coaching the kings back in the Mitch Richmond days. I thought he did a decent job taking us to one playoff series and the year before that , we could of made the playoffs too but unfortunatly we lost to Denver and they took the 8th seed. I was so mad that year.

I liked st jean as a person but as a coach. I think we needed somebody else.

I heard bay area ppl love st jean. He has his own radio sports talk show and they love his entertainment.

I worried the poor man was going to have a stroke on the sideline..

He sadly wouldn't have been the first Kings coach to almost die on the sidelines, which pretty much summarizes the entire Sacramento Kings franchise in a nutshell.
