PC’s Ted Bancroft on TipOff

Coach Ed Cooley has had to discipline more than one starter this season, and prior to their win over Villanova, the Friars announced that center Sidiki Johnson “has taken a voluntary leave of absence from the team.”

Through the storms big and small during Cooley’s second season as PC head basketball coach, there have been a few pleasant stories – one being the play of “walk-on” Ted Bancroft.

After a standout career at Bishop Stang,  Bancroft has become a major contributor to the Friars, averaging almost 20 minutes a game as the Friars deal with injuries to starting guard Vincent Council and freshman Kris Dunn.

In this interview on OSN’s Tip-Off show, we learn that Bancroft was a scratch golfer before turning his energies to basketball.
