Met him at a dinner last year. Classy individual. Feel terrible for him and the SFC athletes.If true, I feel bad for Coach Braica. He seems like a good guy.
The basketball highlights since include losing in the championship game in the early '90s on some bad calls, the Oklahoma Sooners practicing at Coles before a tournament game, and LJSA getting his ass absolutely handed to him by someone from the women's team.NYU dropped D1 sports in the early 70s when the school had major financial problems.
This was a school that had already been to the Final Four twice and was producing NBA players like Dolph Schayes, Satch Sanders, Happy Hairston, Barry Kramer.
About a decade later, they resurrected intercollegiate sports but as a DIII program.
St Francis sold their "campus" which included the Gym and played "home" games at Pratt Institute this year--sad.
THey have a "new campus" which is in the old A&S department store in downtown Brooklyn. They did a gut renovation of the floors they are leasing. Shame because they are a good value for students. As to Coach Braica, he is a nice guy who I met when he was an AC to Norm and then ran into him in Brooklyn Heights and we chatted.
Sad to hear. Once upon a time they were our downtown Brooklyn rivals. They would try to steal the Indian statue and raid our Brooklyn campus( the Quonset Hut)I use to work in downtown Brooklyn. I use to walk around Brooklyn Heights at lunch and after work me and some co workers would hit bars on Clark or Montague Streets. I had no idea St. Francis sold their building in there.
