Good Story about Mitch's career. Mentions the RedSea at the Meadowlands. But fails to mentions what I thought was one of the highlights of Mitch's career.... with Mitch on the Ladder at his 2nd MAAC Championship, all the fans and Red Sea chanting "Mitch is God".... wild.

"He pushed and drove the kids to exhaustion," said DeSantis, now the head coach at Quinnipiac. "But he changed the culture of that program. How could the kids not play hard for a guy with that much enthusiasm, who gave so much?" Buonaguro did it all with theatrics that came to define him as a head coach. After Fairfield beat Holy Cross in the 1986 conference championship game, hundreds of Fairfield students -- all wearing red shirts, which earned them the nickname "The Red Sea" -- stormed the Brendan Byrne Arena court.
