Peahead Walker led the Demon Deacons to arguably their greatest seasons ever. He also smoke, drank, cussed, paid his players, and lied about everything he could get away with.
Heard a similar story about Wake Forest legendary baketball coach Bones McKinney. In this version, he brought potential recruits from NYC and took them at night to Reynolds Coliseum, then the biggest venue in the ACC. He told them they would play ball there.
True when they played NC State or maybe the ACC tournament.
Wake Forest's greatest football coach was a “con artist”

Amazing how we forgive scoundrels who make us laugh....
Great story and one I had not heard.
Top notch work again!
