Press Herald features new men's basketball Coach Ed Silva

The Portland Press Herald on Nov. 21, 2012 featured a story on UNE's new men's basketball coach, Ed Silva, who comes to 91直播视频from Elms College in Chicopee, Mass.

The story notes that "from his childhood in Lowell, Mass., to college stops in Manchester, N.H., and Willimantic, Conn., to his past 11 years as men's basketball coach at Elms College in Chicopee, Mass., New England's textile history has never been far away."

"I'm drawn to mill cities," Silva says. At Elms College, Silva won seven conference titles and went to the NCAA Division III tournament six times.

"I like to have themes for each season and the theme this year is 'Being comfortable being uncomfortable,' " Silva said. "For the players it means going just a little over that line each day, so you push out of your comfort zone."
