“Humbled and chastened, Richardson spent a year at Monroe College, a junior college in the Bronx, and then moved on to Pitt-Johnstown, where during his two seasons he led all Division II players in assists per game. After a season as associate head coach at Pitt-Johnstown, he took a job in New York’s financial sector, but he was naturally drawn to teaching and coaching. He worked as a substitute elementary school teacher in the Bronx while also serving as an assistant coach at St. Raymond’s and Monroe. In 2002, Richardson was invited to coach one of the Gauchos’ top high school teams”
