Lou Lamoriello recalls the 'ball of energy' that was Lou Carnesecca
Lamoriello was still Providence’s hockey coach when the Big East was founded in 1979. He watched as the late Dave Gavitt, his mentor and predecessor as Providence AD, his roommate and teammate in the Cape Cod Baseball League, a groomsman at Lamoriello’s wedding and, eventually, the Big East’s first commissioner, spearheaded the new league.
