Malcolm Wynn couldn’t help but chuckle during a recent session at the MB Sports Camps on the campus of Curry College.
The head instructor for the boys and girls basketball camp, Wynn watched as former local hoop stars Wayne Turner (Beaver CD/Kentucky), Monty Mack (South Boston/UMass), Steve Hailey (Worcester Academy/Boston College) and Courtney Eldridge (Thayer/UNC-Greensboro) regaled a group of nearly 140 kids with their basketball tales.
“As they were talking, I started to realize that I’m getting old,” Wynn said with a laugh. “I can remember coaching against them when they were kids and now here they are giving advice.”
While the MB Sports Camps has been around since 1995, this is just the second year that the camp has branched out to include basketball. After drawing 50 kids in the two-week session last year (24 the first week, 26 the second), the camp has expanded to nearly 300 this year.
“The whole thing has been great,” Wynn said. “But the best thing is seeing these young men giving back to the community.”
Wynn just turned 55, but he has no plans of slowing down. He is heading into his ninth season as head men’s basketball coach at Curry, but Wynn is adding a familiar face to the Colonels bench – Lance Tucker. Tucker was the longtime head hoop coach at Brookline and Wynn served as his assistant for 13 years.
“Lance will always be the head coach to me,” Wynn said. “I’m so excited to be able to bring someone like Lance back here.”
