Today students will have an opportunity to hear what the real-Ufa coach of the T.C. Williams High School Titans. Herman Boone, has to say about the rhovie. . Boone will speak in the Shepherd Union Building Ballroom at 10 a.m. as part of convocations."He brings an inside perspective of the story of the real Titans team," said Danny Hatch, convocations chairperson. "He also brings a perspective that's valuable to you as far as diversity issues and unifying together as a team." , Geneva Foster, coordinator of student affairs, said. "He brings a strong message of unity and motivation for people to take action over their future." Boone was a black assistant coach who went to T.C. Williams High in 1969 and became the head coach of the football team. Much of the while community resented him for taking the job that many believed belonged to his eventual assistant coach Bill Yoast. Through a "hard-nosed" men tality and determination, Boone unified a football program that was in shambles. Under his coaching the team indeed came together and went on to win the state championship. "He's going to talk about the movie and give an inside look at what happened and how he got the team to work together." Hatch said. One thing Hatch is sure of is that Boone shouldn't have trouble expressing his feelings because "he's every bit as vocal as they portray him in the show," Hatch said. Hatch acquired Boone with a simple phone call. He said that after watching the movie, he realized the character played by Denzel Washington was a real person. "I thought he'd be a cool guy to hear from." Boone is getting $4,000 to speak at Weber State University, a price that Hatch said is relatively cheap in the speaker circuit. Convocations is hoping for "a couple of hundred" people to come out. Hatch said there wasn't as much publicity for Boone as he'd liked due to the short notice of booking. 'This is the first one with this little publicity," Hatch said. Still, he said, this is a great opportunity for students to hear from a high-caliber person who is of interest to so many. As far as the actual speech goes, Hatch said, "I hope it's just like the show."
