BUFFALO — It’s 11:27 a.m. on Jan. 16 and Katie Kolinski had a lot on her mind. She walked through the sliding doors into Wegmans on Transit Road, grabbed a shopping cart and rehearsed her list: oranges, juice boxes, water bottles. At the front of the store, she stopped at a small mountain of orange crates, scanned a few options and lifted one that looked good.
“I wear a lot of hats in this job,” she said. She drove her cart into the produce section. “This is where I play manager.”
Kolinski, the director of operations for Buffalo women’s basketball, does a little bit of everything.
