HC: Why did you choose your major?
DS: I was tired of being in school.
HC: How long have you been playing basketball?
DS: Competitively, 12 years.
HC: What is it like being a captain of a college team?
DS: Challenging. It’s a time commitment and my job is to motivate a group of guys for one common goal. I also need to set an example. Being the oldest guy on the team, I’m looked up to by the guys. Being a two year captain is also a lot of pressure. Honestly, I was a captain at HS Junior college. It’s all I know. It’s just normal.
HC: What made you love basketball?
DS: probably my older sister when I was a kid I played football. My sisters were basketball and track stars. They were always trying to get me to play basketball. I was always asked to rebound for my sister.
HC: Where do you see yourself in five years?
DS: Hopefully, I’ll be a head coach in high school or college. The next year will form that. I want to coach high school and help form these guys. I want to prepare these guys for the next level. I want to teach these guys the things I didn’t learn. My coach prepared me for the next level of basketball, but I want to prepare these guys for college. That would be gratifying and humbling.
HC: What is your favorite sport to watch and who is your team?
DS: College basketball or professional football. My all-time favorite team is the Cleveland Browns
HC: If you could go anywhere in the world, right now, where would you go?
DS: Egypt or South Africa.
HC: Dunkin or Starbucks?
DS: Dunkin. Hands down. That is not a question.
