I followed Monroe in High School. He went to St. Maria Goretti in Hagerstown, MD. Small H.S. but he scored over 3,000 points there...without a 3 point line at the time! It's too bad I can't find the video, but in the Baltimore Catholic League Championship, he hit a 70 footer from the opposite foul line at the buzzer to win the game. I was there and it is still the greatest game I ever saw.
corch was the man. fire and ice. oh, the good times. but corchiani was my hero. if you ever get a chance to meet him he is the nicest guy you will ever meet.
He ended up as NCSU's all-time scoring leader in men's hoops. If only he would've helped to parlay that into a Final 4 appearance. Anyway "Ice" was really a helluva player.
He wasn't a guy to be denied his props, but "FIRE" Chris Corch wasn't bad either. I liked Rodney better, but seems like Corch had become more well-known by people outside of State. I think he now works in real estate after his Italian restaurant failed or something.
Cochiani would have been a better pro because he could handle the ball and he would have improved his outside shot.

Rodney Monroe was one of the purest shooters I've ever seen in college. The guy was amazing.
