Eric Musselman has been a coach since 1989. He’s coached in nine states, in four countries, in five leagues and with 14 teams. Needless to say, he has plenty of experience. He’s been around a long time.
So, it came as a mild shock when Musselman said the following after Nevada’s win Sunday afternoon.
“This is my favorite team I’ve ever coached in all of basketball,” Musselman said.
That’s a far cry from what Musselman felt about this team when he took over the job last March.
“I told my wife, ‘It’s going to be a long year,’” Musselman said.
