Mentesana making a comeback
It has been five years since clotheshorse Sal Mentesana paced the sidelines in Stabler Arena, but after being out of coaching since he leaving Lehigh, he is making a comeback.

Mentesana, who won a lot of acclaim for his fashion sense, but very few basketball games while at Lehigh. Has been named the coach of the Reading (Pa.) Railers of the Premier Basketball League.

The league and the team are both new, though several teams from the newest version of the American Basketball League are jumping ship to play in the PBL.

Since leaving Lehigh after going 43-125 in six seasons (his .243 winning percentage is fourth worst of the 25 coaches in school history and the worst of any coach who lasted more than four seasons), Mentesana has been on the side of milk cartons. He is promising an uptempo style in Reading, which makes sense since these sort of leagues usually are glorified playground games.
