Auburn Coach Bruce Pearl keeps a promise he made to a young boy battling cancer and makes him team managerWhen a 12 year old was diagnosed with cancer, Auburn head basketball coach Bruce Pearl sent him words of encouragement and made him a promise: beat cancer, come to Auburn, and you can be the team manager. And the freshman has done just that. CBS’s Steve Hartman tells the story.
“It was just real funny to me, ‘Cancer picked the wrong hombre. It picked the wrong dude to mess with.’ And that quote is what I kept with me when I got in my darkest days in the hospital and stuff,” Cunningham says. Today he is the team manager – and so happy be here. In fact, Sam says coach Pearl’s encouragement may have saved his life. “That truly healed me. I didn’t think I’d really get to this point from all the complications I had. So that was pretty amazing. I’m just a miracle to be here right now, ” Cunningham says.
