A number of standouts have come to the boarding school in Chester County. But the 2016-17 starting five, which included the Sixers' Mo Bamba, is 'the most talented I will ever coach,' Berger said.
Seth Berger was once a junior varsity basketball player at Penn, then a legislative director, then founder offootwear, creating quite an accomplished resumé. But in the last 17 years as Westtown School’s head basketball coach, he has achieved a greater feat.
That 2016-17 starting five — featuring Mo Bamba , Cam Reddish , Brandon Randolph , Anthony Ochefu , and Jake Forrester — was considered one of the best in high school basketball history. Bamba came to Westtown from Cardigan Mountain School, a boys’ boarding school in Canaan, N.H. During his first practice, Berger showed Bamba how to block shots with his weaker hand, a difficult task that could take a few months to drill and retain.
“What I tell Mo is no different than any kid I tell at Westtown,” Berger said. “When they’re a part of our program — whether they’re going to the NBA or they’re going to college — if they are a part of our program, they are a part of our family. The group’s second loss of the season against Putnam Science Academy in Connecticut, Berger recalled, stemmed from Ochefu, who’s the younger brother of Villanova graduate Daniel Ochefu, and Bamba getting suspended before the tournament. The two, who were the best of friends, got into a fistfight over a Wawa sandwich.
