Here's someone I've worked with that has had quite a career since we last talked.

During my first year in college, I worked as the basketball team's manager (random jobs but mainly videotaping games). I dealt directly more often with the assistant coaches. But, I'd deal with the head coach a couple times a week and we talked occassionally.

The head coach left the basketball team after my freshman year and got a head coach job at a Big Ten school (I believe it was Iowa). Almost all of the basketball team was stunned that he landed such a great job. While he was a workaholic, his record as a head coach was nothing special. He was probably a .500 coach at Division II college ball.

After a couple years at the Big Ten school where the boosters defninitely did not like him, he left and landed an NBA assistant coaching job. That assistant coaching job lasted several years until the 2003-04 season where he became head coach of an NBA team.

The .500 Division II basketball coach now has a legitimate chance of winning the NBA Championship if his players stay healthy. The guy?

Stan Van Gundy- head coach, Miami Heat

I don't "know" many famous people, but I've interviewed a handful of them.

Sarah Michelle Gellar
Freddie Prinze Jr.
Matthew Lillard
Fred Savage (made an ass out of myself in front of him)
Verne Troyer
Seth Green
Beyonce
Robert Wagner
ThaSaltCracka

Other random celebrities I have bumped into in person.

Jimmy Kimmell (went to his old Fox Sports producers' birthday party)
Ron Perlman
Oded Fehr
Leonard Maltin
Ralph from the Kevin and Bean show
Kubiak (from Parker Lewis Can't Lose)
Simon Rex
Kiefer Sutherland
Pat O'Brien

There are others, but I can't remember. Beyonce's ass is even bigger in person than you expect.
