University Athletic Association

We've taken some transfers.

And I think we're right where we need to be because, you know, Brain Ice has never won the UAA.

And...

I thought by maybe year five, six, we'd win a UAA championship.

But it's, again, the league's so competitive, it's so hard to do.

And now, you know, we're just taking it day by day, trying to piece it together.

But, you know, the biggest thing is we got to get to the tournament.

That's the next step.

I was really lucky to play for and play at Played for some great coaches, but also at two schools that I really loved.

Yeah, Coach, you kind of got into it a little bit at the end there, but you finished your college career the last two years at the University of Rochester, had a tremendous two-year career there, won the UAA scoring title.

Just talk a little bit about your two years playing in the UAA, one of the more unique conferences in all of basketball.

You're going all over the country to Washington U, Emory, Chicago, and playing some of the best teams there.

in the country so just talk about your time at U of R and you know getting to play such high level competition and you know what that experience was like

they're also very used to, and we're a little bit in the weeds here, but they're also very used to working with student athletes at high academic schools.

So they are familiar with coaches help and what coaches at the college level at those Ivy schools, those Patriot League schools, the NESCAC schools, the UAA, what they can do to help kids get into college there that, you know, their academics may suggest that if they were a general applicant, they may not be able to.

So Um, and that's what they really rely on us as coaches here for is to help kind of help filter through that.

Okay.

You know, there's not a simple way for me to ans- answer it

Does it kind of fit the clientele, the school? Like, I mean, are, I, I guess, are, are those, are those UAA schools like Carnegie and Case Western and Emory and Chicago, do tho- do those all have equestrian? Do they kind of fit that mold, or?

You know, I'm not sure.

The schools that I'm thinking of are, are, and they're wonderful, well-established programs-

So what the NCAA does is they split the teams in those conferences up so they're all in different regions.

So Christopher Newport from the Coast to Coast and Emory from the UAA are both technically in Region VI, but not the rest of their conference.

That's-

Dumbest thing ever, right?

[laughs]

I don't believe the UAA has football at all, right?

Are they in the UAA?

Yes.

Yeah.

Carne- Carnegie's, Carnegie's in the UAA.

I don't know if they have.

[laughs]
