Gonzaga has always had that particular pride in their basketball team. Back in the day, Jud's Griz had totally dominated the Zags in a home game, and so I went into the Zags locker room afterwards to do my story. They had a feisty little coach, Adrian Buonchristiani, but wow, the "feist" was gone. It was like a morgue in there, and Coach was the corpse. He answered my questions politely, and one of the players was cordial and said some good things about the Griz, but they had clearly not expected to lose. Later, Buonchristiani was fired and went on to become one of Converse's biggest wholesale sales reps, made good money for himself. A few years ago, he was suggested for AD at Gonzaga, but I don't recall if he declined or had just been out of the sport world for too long.
