MUNCIE, Ind. — Michael Lewis was a freshman in college when he first met Lou Gudino.
Gudino was coaching a team of incoming freshman at a summer camp. Lewis happened to be on the team. Through different basketball functions, the two stayed in touch throughout their coaching careers.
Gudino graduated from Indiana in 1997, where Lewis played from 1996-2000. Both have a connection to IU coaching legend Bob Knight. Lewis played for Knight and Knight helped Gudino land his first head coaching job at Howard College (1997-99), a junior college just south of Lubbock, Texas.
"We've just stayed in touch through the years through coaching and whatnot," Gudino said of his relationship with Lewis.
