Yes, excellent... Back in Summer 2019, we took a college tour road trip from Rhode Island out to eventually Madison WI, then circled back via a Milwaukee ferry to Muskegon MI.

On the 2nd day we stopped on the Bonnies campus. Many gorgeous Italian-Franciscan style buildings with Mediterranean tile roofs and great stonework. The campus was against the hills on the edge of the woods. Olean NY itself is small and remote, but it's right off the interstate.

At each campus, all self-guided, we'd at a minimum check out the student union, cafeteria, library and basketball court... some gyms were locked, some open, some open with basketballs laying around in the corner... the St Bonnies gym was unlocked, so we quietly took off our shoes and shot around for 5 minutes.

In a display case outside the court there were old trophies and Bob Lanier's giant sneakers. Fantastic.

We took 10 days, and hit D1 and D3 schools, maybe 11 or 13 altogether...

Just saw this... excellent for Roy Williams. Great guess for Lefty, but it was a different more recent Terps coach who amazingly accomplished more than Driesell.

Also, Driesell is also not the answer for Davidson.

Roy Williams instead of Dean Smith. WTH?

Maryland has to be Gary Williams then.

Is Davidson Bob McKillop?

Excellent Stever, both Gary Williams and Bob McKillop are correct. Apparently McKillop's son just got the Davidson job this season cuz the father stepped away.

I know, totally weird. The arena is the Dean Smith Center, but the floor is named for Roy.

So, realistically it's down to 2 normal answers, 1 longshot answer, and several impossible answers unless you have seasons tickets in Moraga and Laramie.

Remaining normal answers:

UNLV:
San Diego State.
Richmond (longshot):

Richmond is a longshot unless you are a major Spiders fan... also Dayton fans should be able to get this cuz the Flyers play at Richmond every couple of years. If a Dayton fan answers correctly for Richmond then i'll upgrade their rating on the other thread to a 6.9...

Could Richmond be the old Dick Tarrant? San Diego St Steve Fisher. UNLV Jerry Tarkanian.
