On the move

If there was any justice, Demon basketball coach Mike McConathy would have a tire endorsement. The guy just loves to drive. Other than being with his family or coaching, I don't think there's much he enjoys more.

So it's not unusual that his friends and coworkers get cell phone calls from McConathy while he's steering toward his latest destination.

Now some of the driving is of course, work. Recruiting trips, business, and the like. Some of his driving is to go see friends. McConathy loves to visit folks he's met.

This week, he made the recruiting circuit through Mississippi's junior colleges, encountering former Demon guard Lem Jones at one stop.

Coach Mike called Wednesday evening about 9 to report he was cruising down I-49 past the Stonewall exit, about to cap an 1,100-mile trek.

So, you wanna be a college coach?
