Each week, we offer a Q&A with a local personality. Today, staff writer Paul Wood chats with MATT BUCHI, head coach of the men's wheelchair basketball team at the University of Illinois.
Matt, where are you from and how did you get here?
I grew up in Clarkston, Mich., a small town an hour north of Detroit. I was injured in a car accident when I was 9 years old on summer vacation with my family in North Carolina. It was an older vehicle that did not have shoulder harnesses in the back seats.
