Raf documentry airing on 4/2

I think he started out as a sneaker salesman. I used to go to Walsh Gym at SHU and scream at him to sit down when SHU played SJU. He left SHU in the middle of the season to go to ESPN. Replaced by the incomparable Hoddy Mahon as coach.
 
I really miss the games at Alumni Hall in the 60's and early 70's
There were a lot of 'colorful" coaches that went bonkers during the game
Their antics were often more entertaining than the game itself
Coaches that immediately come to mind are Raftery, Frank Layden and Rollie Massamino
I really thought that at least one of them would have a heart attack on the court
