This was last year, over a beer. My brother is 41 now, a successful doctor with two kids. And here he was, still talking about his Division III college basketball team.
You know those stories about a wise coach who inspires a group of plucky overachievers to overcome the odds and win state, or whatever?
This is not one of those stories.
In the beginning—before the run at the record, the national media and the fellatio strike—there was just a college basketball team and a coach.
