In Frank Howard’s 2015-2016 freshman campaign, the point guard position was taken. The Syracuse Orange were led by two fifth-year seniors in its starting backcourt. As a collective, Trevor Cooney and Michael Gbinije had a decade of college basketball experience. The two senior guards at the top of Syracuse’s 2-3 zone parlayed their college basketball swan song into an unthinkable Final Four run for the ages. Given their success and collective experience, Trevor and Mike sucked up most of the minutes at both guard spots.
For Frank, who better to learn from than a redshirt senior that had already been to a Final Four with Syracuse and another that had been coached by the two winningest head coaches in college basketball history?
