Basketball: NBA & College Hoops

Hatfield Sports recently had a chance to have a
conversation with George Mason's Jim Larranaga
a few days prior to the ESPY Awards, where he
was nominated for Best Coach/Manager of the
Year and his team was also nominated for an
award. Despite falling to Florida at the Final
Four, Larranaga and his Patriots were the story of
the College Basketball year as they defeated past
National Championship winners Michigan State
(2000), North Carolina (2005) and UCONN (2004).
