Title: Todd Townsend coming back to Milwaukee
Post by: GGGG on April 26, 2016, 09:42:25 PM
As an assistant at UWM.

"Also, a source confirmed that former Marquette Golden Eagles player Todd Townsend will join Jordan's staff as an assistant coach. Townsend was a member of MU's Final Four team in 2002-'03 and has coached at Northeastern, Northern Illinois and most recently Drake."

Congrats to Todd. I'm guessing that he's well aware of the challenge at UWM. But it could be a great opportunity for him.

New Trier graduate.  Great story with Lottich, now heading Valpo.  Their high school coach still makes great pizza, but is a better coach.

Arguably the best pizza in Chicago.

That's actually his brother that runs the pizza place, not the former New Trier coach. He's not at NT anymore, I can't remember where he's at.

Rick (the coach of Todd and Lottich) stepped down in 2008. He coaches somewhere else now, but I believe he does still own a good amount of shares in the business. He used to give out free pizza coupons to whoever could hit the most free throws in a row.

Yea, Fricke is over there now. It's killing me that I can't remember where Rick coaches now, I should know this.

Welcome back to Cream City, TT!

Though his lackluster performance in the Final Four still lingers in my mind...

I prefer to think of everything he did to help get Marquette to its first Final Four in 25 years.

He did a brief stint at Loyola as an assistant before Fenwick.

Also, if you're in a bind for time or just don't want to wait, call in your order beforehand and they'll have it ready for you when you get there to dine in.
