West Event Tonight
October 24, 2011 09:35 AM | General
Jerry West grew up in West Virginia, led the West Virginia University men’s basketball team in one of its most successful times and became the symbol of the National Basketball Association as he thrived on the court as a player and off as a general manager.
But, he says, there were torments and dark days, as there so often are in the lives of the talented.
West will sit down and discuss with his alma mater what it was like when the sun shined on him and when its rays were absent from his life. The event will be interview-style with WVU Athletic Director Oliver Luck asking West questions onstage. West will speak as part of the David C. Hardesty Jr. Festival of Ideas tonight at 7:30 p.m. in the WVU Coliseum on his new book West by West: My Charmed, Tormented Life.
A book signing will follow in the Jerry West Mountaineer Room. Copies of the book will be on sale at the event through the WVU Barnes & Noble Bookstore.
