Heard from a good friend that WVU paid $800K for Obioha from UNCW
7-foot, 280 lb forward Harlan Obioha averaged 9.2 points, six rebounds, and 1.2 blocks. That's quite a haul. Oh, Big Pat is visiting UNCW.

My son played a year at UNC-W for coach Siddle. Said he would be a really
good HC someday. He really has become one. Pat may do well there!!

Personally for me, Takayo Siddle…
Is one of 3 favorite coaches in all of college basketball. I absolutely love the guy and he is damn impressive. It always brightens my day when we run into each other on the road. Enormous respect for Takayo.

My son would agree 100%!! Loved his stay there. We both knew he'd kill it
as a HC when he finally got his chance!!

Mark Byington (Vandy coach) played there. He wanted to play at Tech or
UVa but didn’t get an offer from either.

Siddle was born in Eden, NC - sounds like a good guy!
Spent quite a bit of time in Eden growing up. They had a mall before Martinsville dreamed of one! ** Edited by WildTurkE at 4/9/2025, 10:17:50 PM

But Martinsville had that nice little strip mall with JC Pennies.

I was in 4th grade (Martinsville) when Liberty Fair Mall opened. Huge Deal.
Willard Scott even came down and some kids from my grade did an interview with him on whatever morning show he was on. Lol

Yep. Dined there a few times.
Henry County has Captain Toms now, so you don't have to drive to Eden for fried seafood.

He is! He actually learned a lot as Kevin Keat's assistant before being
named HC at UNC-W.

I'm sure Coach Siddle would disagree with your assessment.
