Recently departed basketball player discusses why he left, where he's looking and what basketball means to him
Sandy Cohen III could no longer take it. His boredom was unmanageable. He had to play basketball. He decided to grab his shoes and go to the Helfaer Recreational Center on Marquette’s campus to play pickup.
He began warming up on a side court by himself. Eventually, to the dismay of just about everyone there, he made his way over to the main courts and asked to join in one of the games.
“I was just shocked that he ended up doing some pickup games,” said Nick Contezac, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, who at one point drew the unfavorable task of having to guard Cohen.
