Long before presidents looked to Dr. Anthony Fauci for his leadership, the Regis High School boys’ basketball team depended on “Fauch.” OnlyAGameNPR
KG: OK. So I actually want to start where I am guessing your reporting started. A couple of weeks ago, you wrote aboutfive miles every day at lunchtime. And I'm assuming that it was during that reporting that you first heard about Tony Fauci, a.k.a. 'Fauch,' captain of the 1958 Regis High School basketball team?
KG: Dr. Fauci is not a large man. He would not have been a large teenager either. So how did it come to be that he was the captain of his high school basketball team? BC: Yes, this was in the middle of what can only be described as a terrible season for Regis High School. They were 1-16, and the star of that Fordham Prep team was a guy named Donnie Walsh. And a couple of the players on that team remembered his name, Donnie Walsh. And when I said,"You mean likeDonnie Walsh went to the University of North Carolina to play basketball. He was a future NBA coach.
BC: Well, I think that's a great question. I mean, it sort of shows the power of high school sports and how one big win can stick with you forever. All of these players who I called — I mean, these guys are 78, 79, 80 years old now — they all remember this basketball game 62 years ago. KG: I mean, in a typical day, Dr. Fauci would get up before dawn so that he could have this hour at lunchtime, right?
