In January 2010 Mystics Alumnus Ibrahaim (Abe) Toulaney & Leo's Donair surprised the Men’s Basketball Head Coach Rick Plato and the Mystics Varsity Basketball program with the gift of Dr. Dish. “I want to show my appreciation to the Mount and the athletics program. They have that has given me so much during my 5 year career and with that being said, I wanted to give back to the program. I think that each time an alum does so it will only make the Mount’s athletic program improve for the future.”
Dr. Dish is the premier full court offensive and defensive Drill Machine.
It will certainly revolutionize the way the Mount Mystics train and give them a competitive edge. It provides a fast and efficient way to teach and train the fundamentals of basketball. It simulates realistic game situations by providing shooting, rebounding, blocking and tipping practice from anywhere on the court.
The Mystics Basketball program would like to thank Abe for his generosity. His gift will ensure that future Mystics have the technological opportunity to continue their quest for excellence! |
