[net.sport.hoops] Georgia Tech and the volleyball connection

ge@mcnc.UUCP (George Entenman) (03/24/85)

Now I know why Yvon Joseph, Georgia Tech's "Haitian Sensation,"
is so good!  While still in Haiti, he was a "nationally
prominent volleyball star" according to today's Raleigh
News and Observer!

According to coach Cremins, "A couple of years ago, Yvon
couldn't even speak English.  He didn't have good hands,
but he took up a lot of room, and I figured if a kid comes
out of Haiti and he wants an engineering degree, he can't be
lazy...."

And, of course, a background in volleyball didn't hurt either.
So, all you engineers on the net, study hard and play volleyball
if you want to improve your basketball skills!

P.S. Tech lost to Georgetown today, but I thought
	they played a great game!
