Feature on the friendship between Mouse Davis and Rolo

When a friend suggested a place for him to stay and he asked if that was a hotel because he hadn't heard of it, Mouse Davis said that he was told:
"No, it is a retirement home." (HSA)


About how he's teased about his age (he's 78), Mouse said:
"(Associate head coach Rich) Miano asked me the other day if my social security number was 2 or 3." (HSA)


About wondering if it would work out for him to serve as Rolo's mentor, Mouse said:
"Nobody wants some old bleep looking over their shoulder, saying, 'I would have done this and I would have done that.' " (HSA)


About how having Mouse serve as his mentor worked out really well, Rolo said:
"You couldn't have dreamed for it to turn out any better." (HSA)


HSA Note: "The bottom line on this April-December marriage of the minds came in a 10-4 season in which the Warriors led the nation in passing offense and finished in the top 10 in total offense and scoring."


About how Mouse and Rolo work well together, Bryant Moniz said:
"They've had a real good chemistry from the start; Rolo runs the show and Mouse pretty much invented it." (HSA)


HSA Note: "One of the initial indicators to its impending success was when the Warriors ran one of Rolovich's so-called "special" plays -- "something with a funky name like 'fear the beard' or 'duck buns,' " Davis recalled -- and Rolovich asked for an instant assessment. To which Davis reportedly replied, "That's pretty bleeping average" and Rolovich quickly retorted, "Tell me how you really feel." Then, they both broke into laughter."
