‘Coach K’ puts faith to work on court for St. Francis Xavier University By Wendy-Ann Clarke, The Catholic Register March 5, 2021
It has not been the final season long time St. Francis Xavier University head basketball coach Steve Konchalski imagined.
After a remarkable 46 years leading the men’s team at the school in Antigonish, N.S., the legendary coach will retire from the position he’s held since 1975 when players wore short shorts and two stripe socks pulled up to their mid calves. The school was scheduled to host the Canadian university championships a fitting close to a storied career but like so many things, those plans went awry some time ago due to COVID.
