UMBC head basketball coaches Randy Monroe and Phil Stern will be among a host of local college basketball coaches who will appear at Sports Legends Museum at Camden Yards on Tuesday, October 7th from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. for a program and reception. 

 

The program will enable local college basketball fans to interact with the coaches from some of the top college basketball teams in the nation.  Longtime Maryland sportscaster Scott Garceau will serve as the event’s moderator.

 

“The 2007-2008 college basketball season proved to be one of the most electrifying for college basketball fans in Maryland as UMBC, Mount St. Mary’s, Morgan State, Coppin State University and the University of Maryland each sent at least one of their teams to the NCAA or NIT Tournaments,” said Shawn Herne, chief curator of the Babe Ruth Museum, which operates Sports Legends Museum. “We’re excited to have some of the coaches from those programs join us to share their plans for what is certain to be another incredible season.”

 

Admission for the program is $15 for the general public, $10 for college students and $5 for members of the Babe Ruth Museum.  In addition to the program with the coaches, admission provides attendees with access to Sports Legends Museum.

 

Sports Legends Museum at Camden Yards opened to the public in 2005 and is located adjacent to the main gate of Oriole Park at Camden Yards.  The attraction consists of 22,000 square feet of artifacts and interactive exhibits profiling Maryland’s sports history, including a College Game Day gallery dedicated to celebrating the history and achievements of area universities.   The Babe Ruth Museum operates both Sports Legends Museum at Camden Yards and the Babe Ruth Birthplace Museum
