The objects in coach Eric Reveno’s office remained unchanged.
Photos of his team hung on one wall, opposite a row of plaques recognizing his players’ academic accomplishments and on-court honors. But the man in the middle of the office wasn’t the same, his whole world had been turned upside down. So he sat in a familiar place, surrounded by familiar things and did his best to process the shock.
He said the diplomatic things. He said all the things one would expect. Then, he leaned back in his chair, put his head in his hands and let the tears flow.
