By day, the managers for Ohio’s men’s basketball team blend into the background.
Rebounding shots, mopping up sweat and delivering Gatorade are just a few daily duties.
It’s not a glamorous job by any means.
But by night, the ragtag group arises from their normal position in the folding chair next to the hoops and become stars in their own right.
The night before the Bobcats do battle, the managers play the opposing team in a manager-on-manager basketball game.
And more often than not, they come out victorious, finding themselves with a 5-2 record against the managers of other schools.
