Merrimack's Coach Went BERSERK In The Locker Room After Winning A Conference Title In Its First Year As A D1 Hoops Program

Perhaps the craziest story this year in college hoops. Merrimack - a big time Stoolie school (but then again, what isn't?) - made the jump to Division I hoops. That's not uncommon, we've seen a handful of schools make the jump the last 10ish years. But how many teams come in and win their goddamn conference in year 1? Grand Canyon, perhaps the biggest name and most successful program to make the jump recently, didn't win. They even beat Northwestern this year - not that beating Northwestern is typically impressive, but you get the point. 

The worst part is they can't even play in the NCAA Tournament. They aren't allowed to qualify because of these stupid restrictions when teams make the jump to D1. They go on this probation period where for whatever reason they aren't allowed to make the Tournament. Makes no sense. Clearly Merrimack can play. Let the boys play! 

That said we gotta talk about the celly. That's an A+ locker room celebration. You need to have your coach going nuts. That's step 1. I gotta admit, Joe Gallo nailed this. I don't know if I can remember a coach jumping higher than this move: 

Step 2 is picking up a random object. This time it's Gallo again and he went with a stool. 

Step 3 is the water/gatorade dump. Just an all out A+ celly. Congrats to Merrimack and now it's time to fight the NCAA and let them qualify.
