The anatomy of a championship team is always unique. The circumstances that brought the 1990-91 EMU basketball team coaches together to achieve record-breaking success is a remarkable story, too.
Ben Braun, Head Coach
Wisconsin (1975)
The winningest coach in EMU history ended up in Ypsilanti for over a decade thanks to two unsung heroes: Chris Malloy and Tom Negoshian.
During the summer of 1985, EMU coach Jim Boyce was looking to fill the open seat on his bench. Negoshian, the longtime coach at North Farmington High School, who was then an assistant at St. Mary's College in Detroit, told Boyce it should go to someone who was single and therefore had the time to dedicate to such a position.
