Back in the Day
I decided to start a new feature on the blog. As often as I can, I plan to try and interview current or former coaches and athletes. I will of course try to ask questions that are slightly different from the run of the mill stuff you hear every day.
I thought it was only fitting to start with one of my favorite Liberty Flames basketball players back in the day. I was in school, and went to pretty much every game in the old Multi-Purpose Building (now the Schilling Center). There was a scrappy guard named Tim Scarborough that was always entertaining. My plan was to give you a bunch of facts and stats on Tim before the interview portion, but Tim's answers were much more entertaining.
Knucklehead: So, I have to start with the first question every LU athlete gets asked at one time or another. Why LU?
Tim Scarborough: Well I wanted to play at a Christian School since I had been in a Christian education environment since 3rd grade. I also wanted to play division 1 and stay close to Philly so Liberty made the most since. Since they were moving to the division 1 level I figured I would get my chance. I wasn’t heavily recruited but I also had an opportunity to walk on at Michigan State. I think I made the right choice walking on at Liberty. I received a full ride after just 1 semester.
