Hall Pass

I guess this is Basketball Day.

You may recall back during the NCAA tournament, I posted some videos of Julia-Louis Dreyfus on camera in the crowd cheering on her son Charlie Hall who's on the Northwestern basketball team.  (Her alma mater, too  as was as her husband Brad Hall.)  

Here she is on Jimmy Kimmel's show talking about all the national attention that that got.  (At one point, she refers to something that's not clear -- it's that she proudly says her son Charlie was "a walk-on."  That's someone who didn't get a scholarship to play at the school, but tried out on his own and made the team.)

And a couple of bonus videos.

This first is one I think I posted, but it puts the above interview in context.  It's the television coverage of her and her husband cheering on their son.  It's worth paying attention in the split-screen to Charlie who is #10, and late in the video gets a rebound in the lower-right corner.

And finally, this is a very nice featurette on Charlie Hall and his family, and includes footage of some of the locker room videos the player did that are referred to in the Kimmel interview.

And all of this may well get you to like Julia Lous-Dreyfus all the more...

By the way, if you want to see one of CHarlie Hall's "locker room video interviews" in full, and it's pretty amusing, you can check it out here.
