Ron Everhart (Virginia Tech '85) will be on the phone with Coach Arritt and Brooks Berry in this week's edition of The Passing Game with Fletcher Arritt. Everhart, who is originally from Fairmont, WV has been a head coach at the D-I level since 1994. He is currently entering his 5th season at Duquesne where he led the Dukes to the 2009 A-10 championship game.
Everhart has earned the respect of his coaching peers by turning around faltering programs--McNeese State (1994-2001), Northeastern (2001-2006), and now Duquesne. In September 2006, Everhart's first season with the Dukes, the program was rocked by a "random act of violence" when 5 players were shot on campus while trying to calm a local man who had been disrtuptive following a school dance. The five players eventually recovered, and 3 seasons later, Everhart has his program moving up the ranks in the Atlantic 10. He will be sharing lessons learned in during his life in basketball as well as thoughts on coaching in today's game and building a winning program.
