Truly, an end of an era! I remember meeting John in 1978 at the end of a bball game in the old Field House. Just a great guy... who I am sure that if you cut him, he would bleed black and old gold!

I have a twitter account and I follow alot of the guys in the media who cover the hawks and they are retweeting a bunch of former players from Mitch King to Marvin McNutt talking about him and how great he is and how much he meant to them. Those are the types of people that make you proud to be a hawkeye.

Some hall, some room, some building, something, should be renamed in his honor!

I read on twitter that Ronnie Lester donated $100,000.00 to have training room in CHA named after John. It was posted by Garmon Sports.

Last class of semester around 1982ish - Coaching Basketball w/ Jim Rosborough as instructor - brings in John Streif and John tells the story of Ronnie Lester and finishes with the day he helped move Ronnie move his mom out of the projects in Chicago - not a dry eye in the room and that included about 1/2 of the basketball team.... Streif was and is CLASS!! Enjoy your retirement!!

I had a few encounters with JS when I was attending Iowa basketball camps. Stand..Up.... Man... and Hawkeye Legend. He was unrakned out of high school and just blossomed into one of the greatest Hawks of all time.
