No satellites, no ESPN, no insider information. There wasn't one coach in the Midwest willing to share the smallest secret with Rebimbas on Illinois Wesleyan. Rebimbas picked up a yellow pad on his desk Tuesday morning, holding up as proof a long list of scribbled - out coach's names. I for years and years. You really don't know who you're playing, what you're up against, until you get there.
Nothing is easy here.
The coach drives the vans, tapes the ankles , and tutors the players. There was an airline ticket on his desk for a flight from Newark to Hampton, Va., that promised to be a relief after they bussed seven hours to the regional championship last weekend. They gotta fly you there. William Paterson was losing late in the regional championship game, an 86-75 victory over Christopher Newport. The coach called a timeout.
