John Thompson III on a Basketball Season's Memorable Ending

It was my first year as a head coach, the 2000-2001 season. I'm the coach at Princeton University. Preseason, we were picked to finish seventh in an eight-team league-so next to last in the Ivy League. We'd lost our coach, we'd lost our top players to transfer, one player [Chris Young, now president of the Texas Rangers] was no longer eligible to play because he was drafted in baseball. We weren't expected to be good.
