An unassuming path to success.(College Basketball)
In consecutive seasons, he has won his conference's player of the year award. He is averaging 20.1 points for his career. He slapped 38 points in UCLA's face at Pauley Pavilion last November. He shipped out to China a couple months back with a team of big-name players gathered by the NIT folks and proved to be the best of the bunch. He is a preseason finalist for the Wooden Award. The NBA folks are starting to consider him a possible draft choice.
But you already knew all that about Taylor Coppenrath.
Right?
OK, maybe not.
Coppenrath's team, Vermont, has made consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances but still is working to climb higher than a 15th seed. He stands 6-9, weighs 250 pounds and shoots like a Lithuanian, but Coppenrath will not show up frequently on CBS, ESPN, FSN or any other multi-lettered network that televises college hoops. And don't expect him to force you to notice him, except perhaps by leading the Catamounts back to the NCAAs a third straight time. That would bring the total of tournament appearances in school history to three.
Coppenrath is not asking to be proclaimed a star. He's not the type to campaign. The day after he scored 43 points in last season's America East Conference championship, fresh off a broken wrist that knocked him out of seven games, he showed up at the team's victory party several hours late. He was taking a nap.
"The biggest day in Vermont basketball history, and you were sleeping?" Vermont coach Tom Brennan asked him.
