Kelly was my basketball coach in high school. He was a mentor and we became friends. He used to stay after practice and work me one on one. He taught me the fade away jump shot, of which was a huge part of my game as I was only 5'10". A person I will remember forever as he always believed in me. My condolences go out to all his family and friends. - Posted by: Ernie Todd (Coach) on: May 12, 2014
