One day away: Ed Cooley, 9/11 and the recruit who saved his life
Posted Sep 12, 2018
Ed Cooley was in his fifth season as an assistant at BC under head coach Al Skinner. As the program’s primary West Coast recruiter, it was not uncommon for him to make five or six trips to L.A. in a month. Many of those visits lasted just one day. Cooley would take the first flight out of Boston, catch the redeye home, and go straight to campus for a full day of work. He was a grinder.
