Johnny Tauer, the Division I basketball coach at St. Thomas, is celebrated at a Beach Night event in St. Paul, Minnesota, amidst a new arena's anticipated opening. With his background as a former Division III coach and professor, Tauer reflects on his journey of success. As he prepares for his team's Summit League game, he radiates excitement, sharing moments of camaraderie with alumni and former teammates. This night epitomizes the culmination of hard work and community, creating a joyful atmosphere filled with anticipation for the basketball season ahead.
"You kind of pinch yourself, Tauer says, because these are the nights that are about as good as it gets in college basketball, short of March Madness."
"But the party is on inside, already. Crudites and chicken skewers are disappearing apace; an open bar is working like a bug light."
