Jerry West was on hand Saturday for ceremonies that officially unveiled a 61/2-foot statue of the West Virginia University basketball legend in front of the Coliseum.
West made a rare appearance in Morgantown for Saturday’s ceremonies and then stayed for West Virginia’s 81-71 win over Seton Hall afterward.
Several hundred fans braved snow and frigid temperatures to hear West speak briefly and to also receive the distinguished West Virginian award from Gov. Joe Manchin.
As I have said so many times, the people of West Virginia are very, very special to me,’’ West said. “There’s a special place in my heart for this state.’’

The statue is beautiful, Jamie. Just incredible. I can't wait to see it in person.
Wonderful work, nephew! I know that Mr. West really loved your work. I hope the Don Knott's
project hurries up and completed soon.
