In the "Where Are They Now?" catagory, I found this story on former head assistant Al Grushkin. Since Coach O'Brien has been retained I feel safe posting this as I am not interested in stiring the pot. Al is back coaching after scouting for the NBA. He is the new head coach at Indiana Tech, a NAIA school in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Indiana Tech was 11-19 in 09/10 and Al led the team to a 22-11 record this year with wins over the No. 1 ranked and defending NAIA National Champions (St. Francis) and No. 6 Davenport twice during a nine game winning streak. They also were ranked in the NAIA top 25 as high as 15th and were ranked first in NAIA Division II in scoring defense and second in rebounding defense. His team held oppomnents to just 58.1 points per game and played in the league championship. All of this was without a chance at a full recruiting year. Good to see one of our former coaches back in the saddle and doing well.
