Forgot to include a scout for Craig - mainly a perimeter player. He would camp out in the corner for kickout 3s, and was probably hitting them at a mid-30% clip.

02.06.2025 17:42 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0My other fun Craig Cackowski memory - besides him being a great teacher - Ike Barinholtz organized pickup hoops at Sheil Park for improvisers, and Craig would always wear an NFL Europe/Amsterdam Admirals t-shirt. Also, you always wanted to run with Jason Sudeikis, cause that dude could pass.

I've always admired Mike's approach to the work, and he's always been generous with sharing time just to process improv pedagogy (ugh, apologies for making that sound wonkish)...

Serendipity would have it that Liz Cackowski was a freshman, and offered - "Hey, my brother Craig is at iO, and can teach us the Harold" -
