The University of New Haven men's basketball team will be hosting a coaches clinic featuring Boston Celtics assistant coach Mike Longabardi, a member of the 2007-08 NBA Champions, on Sunday at Charger Gymnasium.


Longabardi begins his fifth season as an assistant coach with the Celtics. He was previously with the Houston Rockets for four seasons as an assistant coach/video coordinator and before that served as an assistant coach for the men's basketball teams at Pfeiffer University, Adelphi University, Lafayette College and Towson University.

Longabardi will conclude the clinic with a session on defensive fundmentals and drills starting at 11:30 a.m.

The clinic costs $45 and will also feature a clinic from New Haven head coach Ted Hotaling on the fundamentals of the two-guard offense.

For more information, or to register, contact head coach Ted Hotaling at 203-932-7024 or thotaling@newhaven.edu or assistant men's basketball coach Tobe Carberry at 203-932-7293 or tcarberry@newhaven.edu.

Timajh Parker, a 6-7 senior forward for St. Joseph in Trumbull, has orally committed to play basketball at Towson next season, as first reported in the Connecticut Post.

Parker, a Register All-State selection last season, helped lead the Cadets to the Class LL state championship and the No. 2 spot in the poll's final ranking.

Speaking of St. Joes, it's been rumored for months that current assistant coach Charles Clemons will replace the legendary Charlie Bentley as coach at Harding. That final decision should be made soon.
