Local Sports Personality Alan Cutler has just published his personal biography and it sounds like it is something you need to check out.
Here is an excerpt from Mark Story of the Kentucky.com about the newly published book which is available on Amazon.com.
“Cut To The Chase,” 460 pages, 129 chapters, is now available via Amazon ($19.99 paperback, $9.99 Kindle). A local basketball coach, John Calipari, wrote the book’s foreword.
Cutler says the book contains anecdotes on Ralph Beard, Shane Boyd and Jared Lorenzen, Dale Brown (the ex-LSU coach, not the former Kentucky hooper), Travis Ford, Kevin Grevey, Cory “Poop” Johnson, Cawood Ledford, Dan Marino, Hal Mumme, Gary Player, Nolan Richardson, Adolph and Herky Rupp and Pat Summitt, among many others.
In writing the book, Cutler says he relished “being able to go deeper (in telling stories) than you can on TV.”
“Cut To The Chase” also features far more on the aftermath of Cutler’s chase of Gillispie. Included is the public relations approach Cutler adopted after the incident that he believes helped turn public opinion in his favor.
As for Cutler’s second Billy G. lament, it is that the coach, once he left Kentucky, would never take the TV reporter up on the idea of using their shared moment of video fame as a way to raise money for charity.
“I tried to call him for years and years and years and years,” Cutler says. “It just made sense to me: This whole thing was ridiculous. Why not turn it around and have a charity run for money?”
Gillispie never responded to his phone calls, Cutler says.
