BOWLING GREEN — Shortly into his tenure as Bowling Green State University’s athletic director, Derek van der Merwe had to make a couple significant coaching decisions in the span of a month regarding who will lead the Falcons’ men’s and women’s basketball programs.
It was a busy time for van der Merwe. Two years later, it hasn’t really slowed down.
“I would say that the inspiration outpaces the exhaustion at this point. I think when you go through these processes, you truly are inspired by how something makes you better,” van der Merwe told The Blade on Monday.
