Duluth basketball coach Will Starks died early Thursday at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., after battling complications related to a heart defect first discovered in December 2013. He was 49. Will Starks was an assistant at East for much of Tolo’s tenure, including when the two coached Dyami, who recently completed his college career at Division I Bryant University.
