I didn't know this, but he's been the head coach at SIU-Edwardsville for three years. Terrible overall record of 28-61. To be fair, they haven't had a winning season since 2007-08 when they moved up from Division II.

Thanks for sharing, I remember him well…nice guy. Still hard to believe that his Dad was a PG for Duke.

Does he wear a coat and tie to the games and then then rip them off when things get tense? Used to watch Tony during the games and take bets on when this would happen.

Good for Brian. He was always a hustler. I see Tony Jr. has a job with the NCAA.

Modicom of respect, but calling him an average pickup player. That's definitely not true. He was now a D1 player although he played, and was occasionally somewhat effective, but that puts him head and should above average in a pickup game.

Did you ever play against him in a pickup game?

From what I can remember, he played really good D, but couldn't shoot.

Does that sound about right?

Floor burn guy who could start a lot of places, and be a valuable backup at others. Transferred to Marquette and finished his career there after dad got fired from A&M. He was one of our best players (unfortunately) when his dad got canned, and everyone wanted him to stay at A&M. Would have been a good backup to Clifton Cook during Melvin's first season.
94chem,
That, sir, was the greatest post in the history of TexAgs. I salute you. -- Dough

But somehow wasn't. Nepotism is a very real thing.

If you play pickup with a college player and can't tell they're a college player what does that say? Don't say he's not trying.

It means you don't know basketball.

Y'all are bickering over a now 45 year-old man who coaches at a small school in Illinois. Is it worth it?

I think I do. I'm not great at all and never was but I've played against college and nba players and they immediately stand out on the court.

I sure don't remember people wanting him to stay. His loss was very insignificant. A guy that averaged 2.5 ppg. He did average 4 assists but also 2 TO

Consol kid if I'm not mistaken.

Both he & another Consol grad Alex Caruso were a joy to watch @ A&M with their defensive intensity. Didn't BB damage a scorer's table while at A&M by diving into it while trying to get a loose ball?

Hope he finds better success in year 4.

He was definitely one of a kind. I can remember several games where the coat and tie were off before we finished warm-ups. He would have sweat pouring down his face and sitting on the floor in front of the bench and we haven't even tipped off.

Occasionally I'd wander into G. Rollie and watch Tony conduct practice between classes. Those were some fun experiences. For me, probably not the players so much.

Speaking of undersized midwest point guards in the Barone era, anybody looking for a $1.07 baseball card of Kyle Kessel?
