There's been a men's basketball team at Emmanuel for 17 years, and most of them have been pretty uninspiring. That includes last year's 3-22 campaign. But under a new coach, Emmanuel is on track for its best season ever, and a turnaround that is plus-12 wins and counting. Brian Lester has more.
Following a national search, Emmanuel has appointed Danny Lawson as head men's basketball coach. Most recently an assistant coach at Endicott, Lawson becomes just the third head coach in the program's 17-year history.
Jamahl Jackson wasn't the first head men's basketball coach at Emmanuel, but he has been the head coach for 14 of the program's 17 seasons, leading the Saints to a 148-222 record, including nine consecutive losing campaigns.
