Jimmy Patsos
\
It’s funny how someone picks up the mannerisms of someone they work with for a while. There is no question I thought Gary Williams was in the room at times —- like the point when Patsos pointed out his 2001 Final Four ring and invoked the mid-February night Florida State stunned Maryland and prompted a cascade of boos to echo down. (Who else can still remember Delvon Arrington jumping onto the scorer’s table?)\

Loyola was coming off an ugly loss to Towson 48 hours earlier, and he sure sounded like Williams when he talked about getting back on the court so quickly.\
\
“The suicide watch was over,” Patsos said dryly.\
\
And one other thing; that emphasis on staying in the coaching box doesn’t appear to be too much of a priority. Patsos —- who might be even more demonstrative than his former boss and even joked about going two games without a technical foul —- did his share of wandering from the bench. \
