What do you like most about NJCU?: | “It’s family-oriented. Everyone gets along pretty well. There is help at all times when you need it.” |
What do you like about Coach Brown:? | “Coach Brown is a real stand-up guy. He is a no-nonsense, straight-to-the-point guy. I love it. He actually motivated me when he yells at me. He cares about you more as a human being then he does as a player. He couldn’t care less about the basketball aspect; he wants to know what kind of person he is getting involved with. That’s key to him. He is an overall greta guy and I’m glad he is my coach for the next four years.” |
