Eddie was 84 years old. He battled demons most of his life, but he was still named to the Hall of Fame just a few short months ago!

He was a good coach and I hope he has eternal rest. The only complaint I have is he should have never played Sean.

He was a good person and a good coach too He is one of only eight major college men's basketball coaches to have had more than 800 career wins.

He is actually one of 10 to reach 800 or more wins in ncaa division 1 with 806

Sutton also led three teams to the Final Four and was the first coach to take four schools to the NCAA Tournament.
