Pretty cool to see Lightning in a Bottle and the effort to restore recognition to UMass Basketball's 1996 Final Four team mentioned in The Boston Globe this morning. It's a reminder that the story of that team still matters. Thanks @Dan_Shaughnessy and @UMassMBB

[Mike Corey @mikecoreysports]

When @braddny and I started talking about working to have the Final Four reinstated, all we wanted was for the question to be considered.
Today, the @NCAA confirmed there is a path for @UMassMBB to seek reconsideration of the 1996 Final Four ruling. A lot has changed in college athletics over the last 30 years, and it's an encouraging step forward.

Great news!

The NCAA has confirmed that there is a path for @UMassMBB to seek reconsideration of the 1996 Final Four ruling.

This is an important step forward and the clearest indication yet that the issue can be revisited.

@MikeCoreySports and I appreciate the response from the @NCAA and @CharlieBakerMA and remain hopeful that, in today's NIL era, the accomplishments of the 1996 UMass team will receive another look. #UMass #FinalFour #LightningInABottle

Thanks, Brad. Proud to stand alongside you on this. We believe the 1996 team earned its place in history, and we’re grateful to the NCAA, Charlie Baker, and UMass for giving this request thoughtful consideration.

@CoachMattMcCall Incredibly well said Matt!

[Mike Corey @mikecoreysports]

1000% Class Act / Coach Schmidt did it the right way, on and off the court for almost 2 decades at @BonniesMBB / More than all the wins, titles and accolades he did so much for the University, the city and all those he interacted with. Coach - I’m so thankful for our friendship that we developed and I’m wishing you all the best as you enter the next chapter of your life!

It has been 7 years since Pop left us but we feel his presence every single day. I know he’s looking down on his kids, grandkids, and great grandchildren and is so incredibly proud. He taught us all the greatest lesson of the power of saying THANK YOU!
