STANFORD, Calif. — A former college lacrosse star at Virginia is finally getting his chance to play college basketball as he has dreamed to do his entire life. And being back home in the Bay Area at Stanford makes this all the more special, even if first-year basketball coach Kyle Smith wasn't sure what to make of the idea initially. Cole Kastner is more than fine with not knowing exactly how he might fit in game to game on the court. He's just thrilled to have this chance at last.
