This is my small salute to Al McGuire, whose descriptives 
commentating college basketball bordered on genius.  Terms like 
"white knuckler" when a game was going to be a hard fought one.  If a 
player missed a shot while trying to impress there was a little too 
much "french pastry".  The "hail mary" pass (long full court pass) 
started with him.  Now that is used by everyone.  He will be missed 
by many.
