In this edition of "America East Online", the show
profiles the latest stories and achievements of the America East Conference.
America East Online is a 20-minute web-only show which features all nine of the
conference's campuses and highlights athletics, academics and leadership.
The episode begins with a profile of the unique relationship
between the Northeast Passage, which works with disabled student-athletes, and
the University of New Hampshire Athletics Department. This segment includes
interviews with New Hampshire Director of Athletics Marty Scarano, Northeast
Passage Assistant Director Tom Carr and student-athlete Taylor Chace.
The next segment is the second part in a four-part series
profiling former coaches of the America East Conference. This week, former
Vermont women's basketball head coaches Cathy Inglese and Pam Borton
discuss helping the Catamounts emerge as one of the top mid-majors in the
Northeast in the 1990's.
The student-athlete profile this week features "America
East Online" host Max Mandel in an interview with New Hampshire senior
guard Tyrone Conley, who has emerged as a leader for the Wildcats. In the
interview, Conley discusses how his approach on the court has changed due to
the injuries UNH has faced this season, as well as some of his interests away
from the basketball court.
The episode concludes with the Best Of U. series. This Best
of U. profiles the Binghamton men's and women's basketball teams and their work
with the Magic Paintbrush Project, which works with children battling a variety
of disabilities. Interviews with women's basketball coach Nicole Scholl, men's
basketball coach Mark Macon and senior forward Mahamoud Jabbi highlight the
impact working with these kids has had on both teams.
The show, hosted by Mandel, will be available every
Wednesday throughout the basketball season. Fans can watch the web show at the
America East Zone on AmericaEast.com, as well as on the league's social media
web sites such as YouTube and Facebook.
