The Western Kentucky forward approached the porch of a family member’s home and was greeted by a dozen relatives in custom-made t-shirts. “Twenty-two! Twenty-two!” they all chanted, a reference to his jersey number.
Inside the house was another two dozen relatives and friends, all waiting to greet Coleby, most for the first time in more than a year.
Coleby is playing this week in his native land as the Hilltoppers take part in the Battle 4 Atlantis. They begin play at the tournament Wednesday when they meet No. 5 Villanova at 1:30 p.m. CST at Imperial Arena.
