Caretaker coach Glover tells students it’s time to stand up and be counted

PAT GLOVER should be playing for UCD against Limerick tomorrow night in the quarter-final of the Superleague Men’s National Cup, but will now be courtside bidding to halt their recent run of poor results.

Ex-coach Mark Keenan was dismissed after taking the rap for the team’s loss of form. Glover, who took time out from competitive basketball for a year after being appointed to the Development Officer’s job at UCD, agreed to stand in until a new coach is appointed.

And, at his first practice session, he left the players in no doubt where they stood, pointing out that the blame did not entirely rest with their coach.
