It’s a strange slogan for a man who didn’t miss much as a college basketball player. Enfield, who played at Division III Johns Hopkins, still holds the NCAA record with a 92.5 career free throw percentage, blessed with such a sweet stroke he parlayed into a shot-doctoring job with the NBA for a time.
But Enfield is as much a risk taker as he is a sureshot, a guy blessed with the audacity to take chances and the confidence to usually make them.
He has shoehorned his way into an NBA coaching gig, begun a startup software contract management company that was worth $100 million when he opted out, went back to coaching as a Division I assistant, took a head coaching job at a university in its infancy, and two years into its Division I status, brought it to the NCAA tournament.
