Interesting although I can't confirm.

He needs a mustache.

Chris played HS at JJ Pierce , later at ACU. He is the grandson of Bill 

[ntexeagle]

Can he call five time outs in a row because, "You can't save for the next game."?

Mustache?  He needs to steal this entire look:

 

Though to be fair I have no idea where one can buy a mesh polo nowadays...

Times change, people change... who wore it better though... Blakeley or Danny K?

Blakeley!  You can't beat that hair length, sideburns, moustache, puka shells and the mesh polo.

My wife loved coming to the game when Bill Blakely was coaching.  One of my favorite NT souvenirs is the game program from the Baylor game that some have called the John Horrocks  "All World"  game.   On the cover is Coach Blakely obviously unhappy with an official's call, appearing to be chocking himself with his own tie.  Some years later I sent the cover to Coach Blakely.  He autographed it and sent it back to me.  

I hope Chris Blakely hangs a banner on the back of his chair like his grand dad did this season reading "Under Construction."

Blakeley was the master showman.  Everyone now is way too up tight to coach the way he did.  I really miss the performances that he provided at the Super Pit.

All things Blakeley are too cool.  If only we'd been in an autobid tournament under grandpa Blakeley, the partay would have gone on a hella long time.  This actually kind of broke me out of some weird funk, like the world might get right again.

What a great link to NT's basketball past.  Grandson or not there will never be anyone like Bill Blakeley.

Abe Lemons and Bill Blakeley, cut from the same cloth,  polyester!
