There was a well-documented and memorable turning point in Xavier University's men's basketball history, and that turning point was largely orchestrated by Bob Staak.
What Staak did as the head coach of the Musketeers from 1979-85 isn't lost on Xavier fans some four decades later.
Staak, who's now working as a scout for the Miami Heat, will return to Cincinnati on June 2 to be honored by the Musketeer Club and he'll bring some stories with him from maybe the most critical juncture in Xavier's basketball history, joining the Midwestern City Conference and reaching the NCAA Tournament in 1983.
