Jim Phelan won 830 games at Mount St. Mary’s and touched even more lives

To reach Knott Arena, you turn off Route 15 onto Jim Phelan Way. Once you get inside the building, you watch a game played on Jim Phelan Court. After he retired, Phelan was a regular at home games, sitting in the top row of the stands next to the concourse, hoping he could watch the games in peace — which, of course, he couldn’t.
