Massimino’s Return to ‘Nova

Daddy Mass is coming home!
Yep, it’s just a pre-season exhibition game, but the AP is running with the tale that Rollie Massimino is returning to play ‘Nova in the City of Brotherly Love.

“As soon as he became the coach, he was my idol,” said Jay Wright, starting his eighth season as Villanova coach. “I loved him. I loved the way he made the team a family and they called him ’Daddy Mass.’ He was my mentor.”

A Look at Northwood

The Return of Rollie
The 2008-09 Villanova Men’s Basketball Team starts the season tomorrow with an Exhibition Game against Northwood University tomorrow (Thursday 11/6) night at the Spectrum.

As we all know, Northwood is coached by Rollie Massimino who led Villanova to the 1985 National Championship.

The Pollsters have given the Seahawks the following rankings…
• Pre-Season #4 in NAIA Div II
• Pre-Season #1 in Sun Conference

The team is led by 6’8” forward DeSean White, a senior, who was the Sun Conference Player of the Year in 2008. Read more

Article with Rollie

Basketball Interview Challenge has posted an interview with former Villanova Head coach, Rollie Massimino, that was conducted earlier this week.

Rollie discusses the 1985 Championship Game as well as coaching at Northwood University.

Funny anecdote…

His potential recruits, who were born around 1990, have no recollection as to what Massimino accomplished during his illustrious career as the Head Coach of the Villanova Wildcats.
