Geoff Petrie happy to pass the torch...or is he?

"It was time for the torch to be passed," Petrie, the Sacramento Kings' president of basketball operations, said the morning after Damon Stoudamire scored 54 points for the Blazers to break Petrie's record of 51, set in 1973..."

Now here's the funny part:
"Kings coach Rick Adelman, who originally teamed with Petrie in Portland's backcourt, then coached the Blazers when Petrie worked in the team's front office, joked that he remembered what happened when Clyde Drexler threatened Petrie's record.
"Clyde had 50 about three times, and Geoff had me take him out of the game," Adelman said.
