I had forgotten about this guy. GREAT player at St Albans and a former Herd assistant. Just landed an assistant role at Final Four participant NC State.

It’ll be interesting to see whether Nelson ever gets another shot at being a HC.

They did improve from 3 wins to 10 wins in four years.

Has Holy Cross ever been good? Some of these coaches just take the first head coaching job they can get when its doomed to fail from the get-go and they end up ruining their chances of landing a good job because they fail at a place that has never had success. Brett is still young, so lots of career left.

Here are a few. Ronnie Perry, Bob Cousy, Tommy Heinsohn, George Kafkan, Dwight Pernell(sp). Obviously they were most relevant when bb was mostly a city and Midwest centric sport.
