Chris Brickley was exactly like everyone else growing up – he aspired to make it big in the sports world. He's done exactly that, but it didn't quite go the way he envisioned.
The 38-year-old basketball trainer walked on at the University of Louisville in January 2008 in an effort to go pro. But once he realized playing wasn’t exactly in his long-term future, Brickley took up coaching, becoming a grad assistant with Ole Miss ("it was rough," the Manchester, N.H. native said), and then an assistant with Fairleigh Dickinson.
