Coach Massimino was great at that. We talk mostly about our families. Coach Massimino has children and grand children who live in the Boston area so they will come down to visit when we play at BU and Northeastern. Our families are very close. We don t talk as much about basketball as we do about our families.
Golf is a subject that comes up a lot.
At the Mid-Major level often programs will have one good season, but it is difficult to maintain that. While it may not be re-loading it is not rebuilding either. They key to building a program is to not build it around one player. Speedy was a big part of our success, but we also had a number of other players that contributed in a big way. I have always felt that is all about playing hard, playing together and playing with enthusiasm.
