An invitation from former Mississippi State guard Craig “Chicken” Sword drew the latter reaction. Sword–who was one of Ray’s players in his three seasons as Mississippi State’s head coach–reached out to Ray in the early summer to ask him and his wife to his late-summer wedding. It’s been nine seasons since Ray coached Sword, Ray is on his third job since. Sword has since played in the NBA, the…
