A highly touted point guard with a spot on the roster at one of the top prep school's in the country, Cole struggled for years to pick up the pieces after his dad's death. Filled with a quiet anger inside, Cole quit the game for a year and gained 100 pounds, before finally falling back in love with it. After losing the weight, Cole earned a Division I college scholarship, only to have his career end prematurely due to a life threatening illness. After a long recovery, Cole found himself homeless without a degree. Amazingly, he picked up the pieces, earned a degree, and reconnect with hoops as a trainer and then coach. Now the associate head coach at Bryant University, Cole sat down with the LIT crew to talk about life, loss, picking up the pieces again, and the game of basketball. This is his amazing story.
