This past season, junior guard Malachi Flynn took the San Diego State men’s basketball team to new heights, leading the team to a 30-2 record and winning the Mountain West regular season title in addition to being named a consensus all-American by various outlets.
His success as a player amazed fans every night at Viejas Arena, although those who are close to him saw this as no surprise.
Bernie Salazar, Flynn’s high school coach at Bellarmine Preparatory School, always knew he was going to be successful as a basketball player.
“I always knew he was special,” Salazar said.
