Under Armour calls the state-themed threads 'heritage on the hardwood.'

An arena full of men’s basketball fans were standing and cheering—but not for a three-pointer or a quick rebound. They were clapping for him. For nearly 40 years, the University Park resident has been an athletic trainer at UMd. He’s been there long enough to work for eight athletic directors, five presidents, and generation after generation of athletes. On June 30, he'll bring a close to that career, stepping down from his current post as assistant to the athletic director. “Forty years is long enough to do anything,” he said. “If everybody had a career like I did, I don’t think anyone would ever retire.” …
