To begin with, Sean Tuohy attended the prestigious Isidore Newman School in New Orleans – one of the school gymnasia is named after Sean’s father, Edward Tuohy, who was a long respected coach in the institution. After his father suffered a stroke and died, Sean finished his studies in the school, and was tempted to play baseball with the team of the Cincinatti Reds, but rejected the offer, and attended college on a scholarship to play basketball, a sport he had always practiced, at the University of Mississippi in the position of point guard. Sean broke several records in the league, and won numerous awards for his play, and Sean Tuohy has now been inducted into the Ole Miss Sports Hall of Fame, and is still known for holding the leading assist player in the Southeastern Conference.
