“I identified what our players wanted most in a coach; they told me they wanted the next coach to match or exceed their passion for basketball, and to hold them accountable.  Coach Boswell has an excellent track record in this regard, and I know that he’s the right coach to take MacDuffie back to NEPSAC AA” Steven Griffin – Head of School
