PISCATAWAY – Call it a home-and-home between Chris Ash and President Barack Obama.
About one year after they first met at the White House when the Ohio State football team was celebrating its national championship, Ash and Obama were re-introduced last weekend before the 44th president of the United States gave the commencement address at Rutgers.
With Obama on Ash’s new home turf – university graduation was held at High Point Solutions Stadium – the first-year Rutgers football coach came bearing gifts to their brief interaction before the guest of honor took his spot on the dais.
