Although officers are trained to avoid asking victims to repeat details of incidents, Sullivan says, "There's nothing like a real-life situation to show that your training is inadequate...
...year in the yard seemed to back up the hype. Despite injuries (always a threat to this 5-ft. 8-in., 155 pounder), he electrified crowds and didn't lose a single game. Then came "eligibility problems" as a sophomore and a direct return to "Go" --do not collect varsity experience. Sound familiar...
