J.R. Reid, the first-team All-American at North Carolina and fifth-pick in the 1989 NBA Draft, is in his second season as an assistant basketball coach with Monmouth. "Our guys don’t even understand how good he was. They have no understanding what he would have done to them, because he doesn’t talk like that,’’ said Monmouth head coach King Rice.
