My friend, Mike Lonergan, head coach of the University of Vermont Catamounts, finished the regular season Sunday tied for 1st place in the American East conference with a record of 23-7. They will be seeded # 2 in the American East tournament which begins Friday in Albany. You may recognize Mike from the beach, where he’s been known to relax with his “first team” comprised of his wife and four children.
We’re trying to do a quick interview with him before the madness starts but this is his busiest time of year. The winner of the American East tournament will receive an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. Mike has already won one NCAA National Championship, leading the Catholic University Cardinals to the DIII Title in 2001.
Mike brings a true love and intensity to the court every game, so here’s a loud shout out from Huletts wishing him and his Vermont Catamounts much success in the tournament ahead.
