four more years?
Not for Steve Lappas."Craig [Austrie] is a hard worker who can come in and play right away and help UMass, which is losing their point guard this season," [Trinity Catholic coach Mike] Walsh said. "The school told me that Craig was their No. 1 recruit and he'll be going to a school which plays in a good conference and plays a good outside schedule. UMass also can provide a lot of things for Craig academically and Coach Lappas has a 100 percent graduation rate."
Walsh notes several good reasons for Austrie to play for the Minutemen. But the graduation rate of a coach who won't be around for Craig's senior year is not one of them.
