STOCKTON - Delta men's basketball coach Rich Ressa sets up the preconference schedule to prepare his squad for the rigors of the Big 8, one of the toughest conferences year-in and year-out statewide.
So, it should not come as a surprise that Ressa, who's in his 19th season at Delta, eighth as head coach, loaded the field for the Delta Holiday Tournament today through Sunday at Blanchard Gymnasium.
"It's all preparation so we can play our best basketball in league," said Ressa, an assistant coach at Delta for Brian Katz and a former player at Pacific under former head coach Bob Thomason.
