Coach Molinari

Here's an interesting story on Coach Mo and the value of a shooter...

WIU was playing EIU Wednesday night...

Late in the 1st half, Mo's Leathernecks pulled out to a 9, then 11, then 14 pt lead....and EIU then went to a ZONE...
then Molinari inserted deep sub Mike Miklusak as a zone-buster - a guy who is their best 3-point shooter despite limited minutes played.

All Miklusak did was nail 3 straight shots for 8 pts in a 2-minute span - to put the game out of reach 37-17 at half.
Miklusak didn't score again but he did his assigned job - the beat writer terms Miklusak their "Secret Weapon"

Mo is also appreciative of his fans..

What a unique concept. A guy on the bench whose only job is to shoot 3's. And this from a defensive minded coach. Brilliant.
