NEW YORK - Tug Coker has spent time in French Lick, Ind., to get the Hoosier twang down pat.
He sat in Red Auerbach’s old seat at the Garden, joined the “Beat LA’’ chant, and gazed upon the No. 33 hanging from the rafters. Looking for the ghosts of Showtime, he searched the old Forum in Inglewood, Calif. He even trash-talked with Larry Legend by phone.
