So this guy is Latino but the Guyanese/Indian guy is Asian? The description is meant to give visual clues not ethnic background, like how we don’t describe a person by the team they follow “black, 6ft tall, 200lbs, mets fan, follows nickleback on twitter, last seen wearing blue jeans” we should stick to describing people by the way they look. Latino? You can say he speaks Spanish and English, with Dominican ancestry.

Hall of Famer Lou Carnesecca, legendary St. John’s basketball coach, dies at 99

The St. John’s University community will gather to mourn legendary basketball coach Lou Carnesecca on the Hillcrest campus he loved with all of his heart Friday morning for his Funeral Mass at St. Thomas More Church, where he will be remembered not just for building a dynamic program, but for the way he did it. The beloved coach died peacefully surrounded by family and friends on Saturday, Nov. 30, at age 99 and just five weeks shy of his 100th birthday.

“Throughout his long life, Coach Carnesecca represented St. John’s with savvy, humility, smarts, tenacity, wit, integrity and grace,” SJU President Rev. Brian Shanley said. “He was the public face of our University, and he embodied the values of our Catholic and Vincentian mission. We thank God for his legacy.”
