What really caught my eye was prior to the game he's literally in short and a tee shirt busting the team through workouts that he's doing as well. Then 10 minutes later he's in a suit on the bench. Breath of fresh air.Mas, Van and Bob Walsh get a lot of assistant coach attention in media, but I think adding Taliek Brown, native NYC guy & highly respected by hoops community, is an overlooked quality member of the staff.
Rumor is Kranmars will forgive him for his “Pukon” transgression
True. We both are graduates of St. John’s Prep., but it stinks that Brown, being the last high D1 basketball player to come out of SJP went to UConn of all places.Mas, Van and Bob Walsh get a lot of assistant coach attention in media, but I think adding Taliek Brown, native NYC guy & highly respected by hoops community, is an overlooked quality member of the staff.

It was a LOADED PG class that year for NYC with Cook and Barrett. Think we got the best one at the time.
Like Moose, I too noticed in Charleston how active he was with players in pre-game drills.Mas, Van and Bob Walsh get a lot of assistant coach attention in media, but I think adding Taliek Brown, native NYC guy & highly respected by hoops community, is an overlooked quality member of the staff.

Yes it was. Unfortunately, while Cook was the most talented, he left after one year and the other two played all four years.
I believe Barrett first verballed for the Hall, a great class they had.
That was a great NYC PG class - but nothing will top the Pearl, Mark Jackson, Kenny Smith class for local PGs. We did fine there as well.
Actually, I did forget about him. Sad story.
Billy Donovan and Jim Christian from LI were also class of 83.
Moose loves it when Marillac speaks in the 3rd person“Put belt to ass”
Some posters would like to do that to Marillac after Jenkins posts.
Good defender, ran the offense and stayed within his means.Like Moose, I too noticed in Charleston how active he was with players in pre-game drills.
Interestingly I went back to look at his stats as a senior. Played 30.5 min/game. Was 1-5 the whole season from 3. Year before 1-17 from 3. Shooting was not his forte but they didn't need it. Good player.

That is how I remember it.
He actually started a basketball skills academy after playing overseas and before becoming an assistant coach. I remember running into him once in the city with the gear on for the program.

Team Footprintz: New York City Basketball’s Secret Weapon, Part I
If you take those Dr. Dre headphones off for a minute, you can hear another soundtrack of the streets emitting from behind a steel door leading to the gym entrance of August Martin High School in South Jamaica Queens,
In retrospect maybe we didn’t luck out since Cook was only here a year?
