T Levine, Thanks very much for posting this. I am a huge fan of Reggie Hearn and always delighted in how a 6 4 high school center would successfully use post moves against Big Ten guards. He seemed to have moved up Van Gundy's roster as play went on, becoming first off the bench. He may find a spot on an NBA roster with a little help from Van Gundy for a coach focuses more on results than pedigree.
Here are quotes from Reggie off the USA Basketball site.
Reggie Hearn (Reno Bighorns)
What did that comeback show from this team?
It showed our resiliency. A lot of us put a lot of time in the gym. We are used to grinding it out. We are used to trying to make it. We are used to feeling like we are not quite there yet, and used to being counted out. That came out of us tonight. We wanted to come down here, show that we can win a gold medal, and that is what we did.
What did you think of the offensive effort down the stretch?
When coach Van Gundy put this team together, he wanted shooters. He wanted guys that can put the ball in the basket. We have great playmakers in Darrun (Hilliard), great point guards, Reggie Williams, Xavier Munford. We have shooters surrounding everyone on the floor. Jameel (Warney) is a beast. I’m just rambling, but we put that win together.
What does this gold medal mean to you?
It’s the accomplishment of something that I did not think I would ever come close to in my entire lifetime. It’s hard to put into words. There are some things you can’t put into words. Words don’t suffice. But, I get to wear a gold medal around my neck, take it back to my friends and family to share it with them, because they helped me get to where I am. I can’t wait for that.
