In the two decades since, their paths and perspectives have often remained in sync when it comes to what it takes to succeed on the hardwood. And so it was a natural fit for them to team up again.

We’re from the same philosophies of coaching, as far as man-to-man defense, motion offense,” Young said, referring to Samulski’s girls basketball coach­ ing career at Canton, during Young JOHN HEIDER | STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER which the Chiefs Plymouth's Justin Kapke surveys the green before putting during Monday's KLAA tournament at Tanglewood.
