WHATEVER HAPPENS on the basketball court Saturday when the University of Georgia Bulldogs play the Badgers at the Kohl Center, it can’t possibly be as dramatic as the circumstances that brought the Georgia coach, Dennis Felton, to Madison the first time.
It was in 2001, and Felton was then the basketball coach at Western Kentucky. It was football season and it happened that Western Kentucky was scheduled to play Wisconsin at Camp Randall. Felton hitched a ride on the football team plane because for the past two months he had been corresponding by e-mail and speaking on the telephone with a longtime Madison resident named Nancy Klatt.
