I asked Mike Mussina earlier this week if he’d be willing to talk to me after the Hall of Fame vote was announced Wednesday night. He told me it would depend on what happened.

Not with the vote, but with his basketball team.

For the last five years Mussina has been the boys’ varsity coach at his alma mater, Montoursville High School in Pennsylvania, and it had a big game coming up against Lewisburg. If the Warriors lost, it was probably going to be a rough night for Mussina second-guessing his own coaching strategies, so he might not have been in the mood to chat.
