Photographer, Chris Humphreys "A great deal of it had already been written," explains Crawford. "But after Louisville won the title, we had to go back and weave some details back into the book. Pitino wrote a lot in some parts of the book while others I did from 90 minute conversations we would try to schedule. After Louisville won the title, the rest of the book was written on the run as Pitino was on the move celebrating. This includes a time where he was faxing me pages from the Bahamas because he was traveling with his daughter for her birthday. One conversation sticks with me though. We were going over a chapter together, and his granddaughter Audrey kept coming up to him and fnally he said, 'Eric, I am going to have to let you speak to Audrey, she wants to talk on the phone.' He put her on the phone and of course there was immediate silence." Florida in the Sugar Bowl, and Louisville's basketball team following up with a national championship of their own. Crawford will tell you he is busier today than ever before. "I am writing a lot more, tweeting at all hours, doing television and it has been a lot of hard work but fun. Hopefully, what we are doing at WDRB 41 will be a success and they'll want to keep me around. I enjoy writing about sports, but I have other interests as well and feel like a time is coming where I can explore them." I am writing a lot more, tweeting at all hours, doing television and it has been a lot of hard work but fun. Hopefully, what we are doing at WDRB 41 will be a success and they'll want to keep me around. Eric Crawford is in a great spot. WDRB 41 continues to grow, and has invested more than $1 million in expanding its facility. He hit the professional jackpot in covering sports for a state that has had so many wonderful moments recently, including: Kentucky's run at a national title, Louisville's upset win over FA L L 2 0 1 3 Crawford probably didn't see his career running parallel to his father's so early on. He has made some hard decisions along the way. He enjoys what he does, and that is often the difference between those who succeed, and those who don't. Crawford has spent nearly his entire career covering the news in a variety of ways. Some of those decisions may have felt they were going in the wrong direction, down a one-way street. But perhaps Denny Crum knew Crawford's career was on the right road early on when he looked back and said, "We're fne, that's just for the tourists". w w w. v o i c e - t r i b u n e . c o m | The Voice oF LouisviLLe 45
