Tommy T! Was at URI with him and played intramural ball with him. Good to see him still philosophizing!

Re: Boon Street Basketball
Many of these same players used to play in the East Greenwich Summer League at Eldridge Courts. Both Fiore brothers, who I had to match up with, were physical players but generally good guys (well respected). Bobby Rietz played with them too. Kevin Barboza who played for the famed Washington Generals. Ex-PC player Jacek Duda played a little, Dave Cingiser who played at Bryant, and others (I believe Phil Kydd made some appearances) played in East Greenwich on Monday thru Thursday nights in the summer months of the late 80's and early 90's. You never knew who would stop by and have a game.
Those were good times and good games playing against them. Much tougher than playing indoors...hard fouls on the hard court, playing in the wind and setting sun, some days it was very hot.
