A Conversation with Steve Napolillo ’98
Five weeks into his tenure as PC’s athletic director, Steve Napolillo ’98 discusses his approach to leadership and team building, and why it is important to “fear complacency.” In a wide-ranging interview, Napolillo shares the good advice his father, Bob, provided when Steve was considering leaving the Pawtucket Red Sox for a job at PC almost 20 years ago; how the changing landscape of college sports represents opportunities as well as challenges; his special bond with his predecessor, Bob Driscoll; and the identity of the NFL star who recently sought out PC basketball coach Ed Cooley on a golf course to declare himself a Friar fan.
