SANTA CLARA, Calif. – First-year Santa Clara head basketball coach Herb Sendek is no stranger to summer exhibition tours.
Sendek, heading into his 23rd season as a head coach, will be making his third foreign trip. Per NCAA rules, basketball programs may schedule a summer exhibition trip once every four years and the Broncos head to Italy later this month.
In the summer of 1999, Sendek took his NC State squad to Italy and just three years ago at Arizona State he led his team on a trip to China.
"The best part about these tours is the ability to see each other in different lights, to spend time together, breaking bread and traveling," Sendek said.
