Going to the Game

Montecito resident Keith Yeager won the live auction bidding for L.A. Lakers tickets at this year’s Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table prelude to March Madness at the Cabrillo Pavilion.

The hoops event featured local coaches breaking down the college bracket with expertise, high hopes, and good humor.

Retired coach Tim Floyd inspired the crowd with his lessons on listening well and growing through adversity.

Floyd coached the NBA Chicago Bulls and New Orleans Hornets – now Pelicans – as well as several NCAA teams, including the University of Southern California.
