Former Fairfield Star Now Strolls the Sidelines Former Fairfield Star Now Strolls the Sidelines Former Fairfield Star Now Strolls the Sidelines
Former Fairfield Star Now Strolls the Sidelines Kevin George endured some lean years with the Fairfield University men's basketball team. It did not diminish his passion for the game, however. Watching him coach the Darien YMCA seventh-graders in the Fairfield County Basketball League, he's animated, encouraging and enthusiastic. He also coaches an eighth-grade team in Easton. "The kids work hard, and they have fun,'' George said. "That's what it's about at this age. We want to teach them fundamental skills, but the most important thing is that they enjoy it."
