PROVIDENCE — He sits in a basketball office in this city where he first found fame.
You can't go home again?
Well, maybe you can.
Even if it's to a different address.
And a new dream.
At least that's what former Providence College basketball great John Linehan is trying to do as a new addition to the Brown basketball staff.
Once upon a time, Linehan owned a couple of winters around here, the 5-foot-9 kid who lit up the Dunk with his irrepressible energy and his great defensive skills. It was the late 1990s, and Linehan had made himself into a great college player, no insignificant thing when you are 5-9 in a basketball world where the cheerleaders were 5-8.
