.....At the game, I ran into Johnson girls coach Tom Chmiel. I’ve known Tom for 100 years or so, dating back to when he was the head boys coach at Woodbridge. At Woodbridge, Tom coached Buck Jenkins, who is not only the all-time leading scorer at Woodbridge, but Columbia University’s all-time scorer as well.
Did you know that Tom Chmiel coached Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora when he played JV basketball at Woodbridge?
The two have become friends over the years. A few nights ago, Sambora left floor seats for Chmiel for the Bon Jovi show at Madison Square Garden. Backstage passes and all.
