When Keith Richard gave into nature and decided to completely shave his head, he didn’t know he’d get the response he has.

With a cleanly shaved head, the first-year LSU basketball assistant coach looks similar to Louisiana-bred political fireball James Carville.

“I had never heard that, but I have recently since I started shaving my head completely,” Richard said with a smile. “That’s OK with me.”

Richard grew up in Baton Rouge, while Carville was born in Georgia but spent most of his early life in Ascension Parish.

Since ascending into the national spotlight as a high-level aide to former President Bill Clinton, Carville has carved a niche’ as LSU’s most visible fan.
