A puff piece, I missed earlier on Coach Jamie Dixon.
A major contributor to the Panthers’ recent success has been the so-called New York pipeline that supplies a number of players from the city.
“I think it becomes an easy story for people to write about,” said Dixon. “Anything that involves New York will pick up some steam. “We’re a city school and generally recruit kids from big cities.”
Current player Carl Krauser says of Dixon, “I think he has the best player- coach relationship of any coach in the country.”
Assistant coach, Barry Rohrssen, who is credited with keeping that New York connection together said, “Jamie was born to coach, he knows the game as well as anybody you’re going to meet. We got a great guy here leading the program.”
