Tod Kowalczyk emerged from the home tunnel at Savage Arena on Saturday with 3:03 showing on the pre-game clock.
He made a beeline for the Blue Crew on the other end of the court, supplying more juice to an already completely full student section. Tipoff between Toledo and Bowling Green was only a few minutes away, and Kowalczyk wanted to assure the Rockets had as rowdy an environment as possible.
After shaking hands with BGSU coach Michael Huger, Kowalczyk sat down on the Toledo bench, picked up a whiteboard, and immediately started jotting down plays.
The 13th-year UT coach has an intense personality, but he’s fond of laughter and has a quick wit.
