The Final Four

My staff and I attended the Final Four and the WBCA convention in San Antonio, Texas. What a beautiful spot! The weather was wonderful and everything was within walking distance including the Alamo, which, if you walked too fast you might miss. It is a remarkably tiny building for such a big history.

I had a blast working a youth clinic at a local high school. We had over 300 participants! I was assigned to the passing station with the Manhattan, Quinnipiac and BU coaches. The kids were fun and very engaged, it was like the “good old days” of teaching physical education. I do miss teaching youngsters.

Then it was off to attend the chalk talks, lectures and business meetings. Our Ivy League meetings were remarkable — for the first time in all my years in the League, we finished in less than 2 hours! I was so proud of my colleagues.

The games are the main event and not to be missed. There is nothing like attending the Final Four games and TV cannot do them justice. The fans, the student bands and the frenzy bring the arena to life. Yours truly walked over early to watch the teams warm up. I didn’t want to miss a thing and I am in the habit of arriving early for games.

All four teams put on a great show and congratulations to the UConn Huskies for taking it all!
