New UConn men’s basketball assistant coach Kevin Freeman is used to traveling. Throughout his playing career he made stops in Italy, Greece, Australia, South Korea, China, Venezuela, Puerto Rico and Spain after he left Storrs.
If there’s anyone who knows long drives and travel times, it’s him. Even so, Freeman said he took his time on the drive into work Friday morning.
He went the long way back to campus in his first day with the Huskies.
“I know probably every short cut to get onto campus,” Freeman said. “I took the long way today, so I could really observe and take it in, feeling the emotions of what it was like to get back.
