I actually worked their Womens team several years ago when they came up to the NW for a tournament in December. They had 8 players on the team - only two of whom were any good. One of those two fouled out with about 5 min. to go...as the Coach subbed one of the bench players in, her comment was "Well, our scoring average just went down, but my sub has got a 175 IQ, so our intelligence level just jumped way up!"

That sub was not a very good basketball player though...

So...you're sayin' the sub had a better IQ than the crew combined?

Didn't Charlie Epps coach the men's team for a few games?

I think a later prank was electronically changing the scoreboard to show that CalTech was leading MIT was pulled.
