On January 10, 2016, John Danowski stood on the sideline of a soggy lacrosse field in Bradenton, Florida, where most of the day before hard rains had pelted the surrounding palm trees.

Denver had won the title in a Final Four that, for the first time in the past nine years, had not included Danowski’s Blue Devils.
