Hello from Washington State!

Post by PaceSpaceAttack » Sun Sep 18, 2022 12:38 pm

Greetings all!
My name is Chris and I am a high school basketball coach, PE teacher and avid Florida Gators basketball fan, from the Great Northwest! I decided recently to follow a few "mid-major" hoop programs and landed on UMass for a number of reasons!
I'm excited to find such a thriving forum to talk Minutemen hoops!

Excited to see how Coach Martin runs the program.

Thanks for having me!

Try not to get scared away by some of the, uh, banter that goes on here. Glad to have a newcomer join on in!

Welcome aboard! I post on occasion, but usually don't add much to the conversation.
All due respect, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart, I'm gonna pass.
