Show 016
Steve Donahue, the new head coach of the Boston College basketball team is on the phone with Coach Arritt and Brooks Berry in the 16th installment of The Passing Game with Fletcher Arritt. Coach Donahue spent the past 10 seasons in the Ivy League, where he transformed the Cornell Big Red into a basketball power. The 2010 recipient of the Clair Bee Coach of the Year award, Coach Donahue led Cornell to 3 straight Ivy League titles and subsequent NCAA Tournaments (2008, 2009, 2010). During that time, Cornell went 72-31 overall and 38-4 in the Ivy. The 2010 Big Red capped their 29-5 season with a Sweet Sixteen run that ended in a loss to Kentucky. We are delighted to have Coach Donahue on the show.
