Instead, Roddy chose the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, a small school that offered only need-based and academic scholarships. ‘I liked basketball,’ Roddy recalled. ‘But I wanted more than that. I wanted to go to college. Basketball was a stepping stone, not an obsession.’ Roddy struggled initially with academics at St. Thomas but blossomed over four years under the watchful eye of since-retired basketball coach Tom Feely, who also turned Roddy into a varsity tennis player. And Roddy, quietly assertive, befriended a host of other kids who mostly came from white, more-affluent communities. ‘Bill is the real deal, no question,’ said Steve Fritz, Feely's onetime assistant who is now head basketball coach and athletic director at St. Thomas.” https://www.startribune.com/stories/1069/5521617.html
