Talking about Villanova's '85 title `never gets old' for Pinckney and his former teammates.
Byline: Kevin Tatum
PHILADELPHIA _ As the Villanova basketball team was passing through New York, Nashville, Tenn., and Syracuse, N.Y., on its way to a berth in the Sweet 16 of this year's NCAA tournament, it wasn't the Wildcats' charismatic coach, Jay Wright, who was attracting all the attention.
Nor was it guard Randy Foye, an all-tournament-team selection after the Syracuse Regional. Or Kyle Lowry, the spark plug of a freshman guard who had garnered many accolades. Or center Jason Fraser, who told his uplifting story of persevering through injury over and over.
No, the person reporters were flocking to was Villanova assistant coach Ed Pinckney.
At each stop the Wildcats made during the postseason, Pinckney could be found in a back hall somewhere standing before a phalanx of reporters for the print and electronic media.
