Karl Hobbs will head to Japan with the USO’s Operation Hardwood from Aug. 23-Aug. 31. Hobbs will be joined by UConn head coach Jim Calhoun, Virginia coach Dave Leito, Georgetown’s John Thompson III and others. Leito attended UConn and served as Calhoun’s assistant.
The Hatchet attempted to get on this trip to chronicle the journey but a USO representative said gaining security clearance would be nearly impossible.
