On November 29, 2019, the highly favored Arkansas State took the court at Devlin Fieldhouse to warm up for its matchup against Tulane in the first round of the NIVC Tournament.
Playing short court to warm up the team, Brian Gerwig, the Red Wolves assistant coach, took a big swing and nailed his boss and Arkansas State’s head coach David Rehr, in the face concussing Rehr.
On top of that, the Red Wolves lost to the Green Wave in five sets — making the night a total disaster from start to finish.
Little did Gerwig know, this loss would be the reason he met his future wife, Molly.
