Bill Tierney graciously, however reluctantly took a call this week to talk about the Denver men’s lacrosse team’s 2015 NCAA championship. “In days like this, you want to live in your future,” said Tierney, who like most college coaches will spend Memorial Day weekend holed up in his home waiting for the COVID-19 pandemic to ease and wondering what could have been. “I’ve never been much of a look-back guy.” But there’s good cause to look back this weekend.
