Terry Pettis On Why He Says "The Creed" Every Morning

Terry Pettis starred under Coach McKenzie at Patrick Henry High, and he headed to Fresno State on a full basketball scholarship. He's accepted responsibility for a conviction in 2006 that has him serving a life sentence in the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, and he's embraced "The Creed" that Coach McKenzie required every player to recite and memorize to inspire him to be a leader in his family and prison community.

Named a "Guardian of the Game" by the National Basketball Coaches Association in 2019 and a "Living Legend" by the NCAA during the 2019 Final Four.
