Former Kansas guard Brady Morningstar is seeing the other side of the college basketball world.
He’s riding buses and vans to road games instead of flying on chartered aircraft. He’s walking into sweaty gymnasiums, not swanky 15,000-seat arenas. He’s eating post-game subs and pizza instead of steak and potatoes.
And Morningstar is loving every minute in his new role as assistant coach at Texas Wesleyan, which will defend its NAIA Division I championship this week at Municipal Auditorium.
“I’m enjoying it a lot,” said Morningstar, who played in 116 games with 68 starts at Kansas during 2007-11.
