EMMITSBURG -- When a man has coached in more than 1,000 basketball games, it's understandable if some of them run together. A victory here, a loss there. Who can keep track?For Mount St. Mary's Jim Phelan, No. 1,107 last night won't be forgotten. This one was a keeper, one game carved out of a 41-year career that will forever stand out.For the first time, Phelan directed a team against his alma mater, La Salle, where he starred as a player from 1948 to 1951.What won't be remembered fondly is the outcome, a 68-65 loss to the Explorers at Knott Arena that became official when Riley Inge's three-point attempt at the buzzer hit the front of the rim.The memories came rushing back to Phelan in the days leading up to the game, but not as he sat on the Mountaineers' bench in his trademark bow tie. Then, he was all business, trying to find a way to snap a three-game losing streak.
