Savitsky praised King's involvement and said although King could not attend every class, he never allowed the season's highs and lows affect his relationship with the students. But he was nothing but professional and positive. At the first meeting after the Bucs acquired Johnson, King wrote his phone number on the board and told the students that they could call him if they ever needed someone to talk to. It made me feel like he was a relative. I feel like he's someone I can call any time, someone who'll be there.
