Amid the palm trees that sway in the sultry sun of southwest Florida is an upstart basketball program that has obliterated virtually everyone's NCAA brackets. Despite this, they are quickly becoming the darlings of fans near and far as a Cinderella, the likes of which we have never seen before.
As the first 15 seed to advance to the Sweet 16, the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles are making a name for themselves. At the helm of this young program is Andy Enfield, former entrepreneur turned coach.
Enfield knows a thing or two about basketball, holding a number of hoops records from his years at Johns Hopkins, not the least of which was 2,025 career points and a 92.5-percent free throw average. Following undergraduate school he earned an MBA, paid for from the proceeds of his startup lacrosse camp.
