Interview with Bill Keightley, (Week 15)

Kygoff
WT Administrator

Keightley talks about the turbulent Eddie Sutton Era. Much of the interview focuses on assistant coaches in the program, in particular James Dickey. He discusses the snowball effect of the rumors of Sutton's drinking problem, a player cheating on his ACT, and a payoff to Chris Mills resulting in NCAA suspension, that led to Sutton's dismissal as coach.
