WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) commented today following the passing of Hall of Fame University of Louisville Men’s Basketball Coach, Denny Crum:
“It’s with deep sadness that Elaine and I learned of the loss of the great ‘Mr. March,’ the University of Louisville Men’s Basketball coaching legend Denny Crum. For three decades, Coach Crum led the Cardinals to unparalleled successes, bringing the city and the university national attention.
“His storied career included two National Championships, six NCAA Final Four appearances, and a well-deserved inclusion into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. The Cardinal community loved their coach and will miss his calm leadership both on and off the court. We send our deepest sympathies to his wife Susan and all of his friends and family.”
