I ran into Coach Fulmer and what I now assume was a recruit, as they were walking down by the park next to Calhouns, back in the late 90’s. I was pretty young, likely not yet 10, and I was pretty star struck. Trying to act mature, I said “Hey, Phil!” and waved. He graciously said hello as they passed. I ran over and told my mother, who promptly gave me down the road for being disrespectful in addressing him.
Later in life I was even further embarrassed to learn that he strictly preferred to be called Phillip.
