Men’s basketball assistant coaches Dwayne Killings and Justin Gainey will be doing more than just helping the Golden Eagles win games this season.
Both Killings and Gainey are members of “Coaches For Action,” a group of 21 BIG EAST coaches seeking to bring awareness to social injustices in the country.
The group has identified three main goals.
CFA hopes to educate players, coaches, and people living within the BIG EAST communities on the importance of voting in local and national elections. In order to help with the voting process, the 21 coaches are hoping to have each school in the conference host a voter registration drive.
