Given the shifting nature of the sport, the sure-footedness offered at Navy — a program intent on developing leaders internally, without the free-for-all transfers that have gripped other schools — makes it an ideal spot for Navy Coach Brian Newberry.

The answers at a food distribution site in Annapolis were as simple as the questions. Why do you need help putting food on the table? Why are you going hungry?
