Lemmons was a character, all right, in a conference (at the time) that had its share of them. I don't know if Lemmons really said all that stuff he's quoted as, but after retirement he did give speeches at officials' functions. I think he spoke at one of our (Texas) state meetings for basketball in the early '90s -- one that I didn't attend.
He definitely had a sense of humor and didn't take things too seriously.
