Watch Dick Enberg Honor the Late Al McGuire

Monday, June 30th, 2008 by The Best Places in San Diego

If you have not visited the North Coast Rep, now is the time to make plans. Next month, the North Coast Repertory Theatre will offer three performances over two nights of Dick Enberg’s McGuire.

Al McGuire was the colorful college basketball coach, whose final game in 1977 resulted in the 1st ever NCAA College Basketball Championship for Marquette University. He went on to become a college basketball and Olympic commentator bringing increased attention to the sport he loved, with his charismatic personality. McGuire left a lasting impact in American sports when he passed away from leukemia in 2001.

Our own, Rancho Santa Fe resident, Dick Enberg wrote a one-man play as a tribute to his friend. Enberg, who is the winner of 13 Emmy Awards, nine National Sportscaster of the Year Awards, and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, will participate in an audience discussion after each performance at the North Coast Rep.
