"Those memories. Man!" Basketball coaches bid fond farewell to final four as they knew it

On March 1, ranker.com updated its list of the greatest blues artists of all-time.

B.B. King made the final four behind John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters. Given the late, great B.B.'s legendary 1969 release, "The Thrill Is Gone," No. 4 might be too low.

King's rendition came out the year Stark County big-man legends, Nick Weatherspoon and Luke Witte, were seniors at McKinley and Marlington, respectively.

Then and now, for the vast majority of Ohio high school basketball teams whose rosters were not LeBron-ish, the dream of dreams was making a final four. After this year, the final four may never be the same.
