The state athletic association said it couldn't afford to have the state basketball championships at the RAC. Not everyone agrees.
In the 1967 movie Cool Hand Luke, the great character actor Strother Martin drawls out the classic movie line, "What we have here is failure to communicate."
The other day, the NJSIAA - the state association overseeing high school sports - announced that the state basketball finals would not be at the RAC but would instead be held at the Pine Belt Arena on the campus of.....Toms River North High School.
And apparently that was news to Julie Hermann and the Rutgers athletic staff.
