From student manager to assistant coach, former UNLV student finds basketball joy

PITTSBURGH — The floor of the gym was filled. Shots were being fired up, one-liners being fired at each other.

Call it basketball's guys night out.

In the middle of all this was Bill Wuczynski, Boston College's assistant coach who arranges these optional trips to the gym the night before a game. On this particularly chilly evening with the temperature dipping into the teens outside the Petersen Events Center, all the Eagles are involved — players, managers, coaches — their Atlantic Coast Conference game against Pittsburgh a mere few hours away at 2 p.m. Saturday.

"This is where I'm happiest — in the gym with the guys," Wuczynski said.
