Winthrop Basketball Coach Pat Kelsey Speaks Out About the Newtown Tragedy

That was not the case Tuesday night in Columbus, Ohio where the Winthrop men's basketball team lost to Ohio State 65-55. Following the game, Eagles head coach Pat Kelsey used his postgame press conference as a forum to give his opinion on what needs to be done in the wake of the tragedy. While spontaneous, his passionate plea seemed well thought out. He spoke as a parent and called for a bipartisan approach to addressing the issue.
