Kasey Keller on Clive

(On Clive Charles' impact on you...) "I've been very fortunate though my life that I haven't lost a lot of people close to me. Clive is one of the people that I miss everyday. A huge, huge reason why I'm still playing today is because what I learned from Clive at my time at UP. For no other reason I love (to) play (in Portland) to see Clive's name up in the stadium. It's a huge honor for myself to have been a part of anything Clive was a part of."

(Everyone who speaks of him speaks so highly, what was it about him?) "Too many things to count. I think the combination of being a great person, a great coach, it didn't matter if you were the star player or a reserve player, he was just a great person, a great mentor. Take training for example. We were getting ready to play UCLA and I don't know why, but I was losing my mind on something and I got kicked out of training about three or four days before our first NCAA playoff game. It didn't matter that I was an All-American, or whatever I was. So I was gone, we had a talk and I had to clean things up. That was why when I got to Europe I was ready to go. If I had done certain things and not listened to Clive, like I said, I wouldn't be the pro or person that I've been. I owe him a tremendous amount."
