The Coaching Career of Lukas Grey (NCAA Basketball 10)

[thefoxatnight]

Lukas Grey, son of the legendary English football coach Taylor Grey, born in the year of our Lord 1984. He grew up in a flat in the south of Sunderland, a city in the north of England. As a young child, he watched the Sunderland Saints play basketball in the British Basketball League, and aspired to become a legendary coach in Britain. Following the Saints' rebranding and eventual move to Newcastle, Lukas became somewhat disillusioned with the British Basketball League, and wanted to focus on other items. His father Taylor had encouraged Lukas to take up football, but he wouldn't bite, and instead tried to master basketball.

Cue the year 1999. After financial hardships, Taylor was forced to accept a job in the United States, at the age of 15 Lukas would be sent to America, a country where he felt destined to succeed in the world of basketball. He had become a fan of the local team, Montana State University, despite their low stature in the college basketball world. Lukas wanted to change that.

In university he attended Montana State, and became a colossal fan of their team, but decided to get into coaching, and hoped an opportunity would present itself...
