We have known him for 8 years now. We have had a lot of conversations. He knows our entire family.
An interesting story is my middle son, Kevin doesn’t get to come much because he has a college softball coach. When he does come, he is very loud and as always hollered for Coach. He was at the Clemson weekend and lives in Mississippi. The first game of the USM series their fans were very obnoxious to Coach Vitello (daddy) and his wife. Tony moved his parents to a different section away from that set of fans, but he went to Kirby and asked was Kevin going to be at the game? Kirby told him yes and unbeknownst to us at the time specifically asked for Kevin seats to be where his mama and daddy had been the game before. Kevin is about six four and 300 and was told his job for that day was the quiet their fans. Which he supposedly did. Tony went to him after the game and shook his hand and told him thank you And said I’ll see you tomorrow
Btw, as far as we know, Kirby is the only player to have ever played for Tony and his dad with them being head coach. Kirby played for his dad in a showcase tournament.
